Yeah Saturn/Penske Magna/Opel is a big confusing mess. I also hope the Opels coming to Canada don't take too big a bite out of Saab sales! They will be marketed as a premium brand. As I understand it, Saturns may not stay Opels in the long term, sourcing globally as required? And what is the dealer network for Opels in Canada going to be?? Maybe further consolidation will happen?
Big mess. But what I meant was the impression I got was our Saab dealer will be totally distinct from GM, and its GM wing (which sells things like Pontiacs) will be basically gone... Sure GM makes money from each Saab sold + the cars will be GM platform for a while, but 20 years now, we may be buying %100 Swedish carbon fibre Saabs and Chinese Saturns (yikes) there with no GM in sight...
I was mainly happy to hear that, in their words, "we're here to stay!"... I occasionally need to use the parts desk!
