Monty said:The way I read it , Roger Penske was behind Saturn and they contracted with GM to manufacture them. They weren't an actual GM car. The contract is not going to be renewed probably and if so only a very limited amount of Saturns will be built. Read this in the morning business section of the newspaper. I don't know about Hummer. It's a big machine woefully underpowered is the biggest gripe I've heard about them. The big economy boost sure failed the auto industry. The government actually confiscated and closed down hundreds of dealerships and put several thousand people out of work. So much for adding jobs. It is my understanding the prior auto dealers who were put out of business are filing a huge law suit and plan to try to get it declared unconstitutional. We'll see. Monty

Thanks for the heads-up Charlie, I had not seen the snopes report.
It had some interesting data about the political affiliation of auto dealership owners in general that I was not aware of.
Their argument was that since more dealerships are owned by republicans in the first place that there was no real bias in the dealership closing decisions even though it appears that way.
