Hourly pay for Saturn sales people is an interesting concept, Mark. I wonder how the dealership can do that, but I know that since they are low key when it comes to pushing cars, then this method may work out best. Besides, it redirects the sales persons perspective to servicing a customer instead of ripping them off.

Honestly, I can’t see how Saturn will survive. I have no interest in buying Saturns which are imported Chinese or Indian models or badge engineered cars made by competitors. GM may be cutting their head off but they seem to be there anyway — suicide versus slow death!

The Saturn dealership in my town is the most successful dealership in Manatee County Florida. I don't know if it's still the case but the Saturn brand was to change the sales process by paying the sales people hourly instead of on commision. This was supposed to create a better buying environment. I don't know if they still practice it but at my local Saturn dealership they have the public's trust. When Saturn launched the Motto was "A Brand built by Americans for Americans". And lastly the Saturn vue hybrid and sky are the best models this company has produced to date from a style and technology point of view. GM is cutting off the head of it's most likely success story. I hope they not only get purchased but then turn around and dominate car sales! Car mechanic marks last blog post..Feb 22, Automotive Electrical Help | YouFixCars.com

CyberCelt, I think the problems with GM go well beyond their electric car program. Years of management mistakes are weighing in, taking their toll against the company. GM got too big and forgot who their customers really are. So you are right: arrogance was certainly a contributing factor.

GM killed the electric car. People were ready to buy them when they came off the leases. Nope, they were destroyed. Read here if you are interested: http://ev1.org/

I think it is karma that GM and the Saturn line are failing. Arrogance, hubris and one-tracking thinking got them where they are today. In a pit…
