Thank you for sharing this post. I can’t wait for the interview podcast to come up on Monday!

After reading this short article, you got me thinking of the past… my mind drifted to a GM subsidiary corporation called “Saturn” (written off by GM in 2008) that produced quality cars at very affordable prices back in the day. The sales team at Saturn dealerships did not use GM corporate sales tactics; instead they opted for a more relaxed and unconventional way of selling Saturn cars to customers… Almost like, “the quality speaks for itself.”

It is interesting how loyal Saturn customers still rave about their cars even today ...

Yes, absolutely! I’ve driven a Saturn LS 2000 sedan once. The engine is (kind of) underpowered for getting onto the highway, but the car itself is incredibly well built, affordable for its year and easy to do DIY maintenance. It’s a shame the GM got rid of Saturn.
