GM to shut down Saturn

Same place I go for my 2001. If you figure it out let me know... I think it might be SOL Motors...

my brother's 2009 Saturn Astra's manual has half Opel and half Vauxhall references - My 72 Opel Manta was probably my favorite car

Well, considering that most of the Saturns were just rebranded models from other divisions recently, I think parts won't be hard to find.

I think the Vue is sold as the Equinox and Enclave and I wouldn't be surprised to see another name too.

Local dealership has already brought Mazda in to fill the gap when it goes away.

GM is saying that Saturn parts and service will remain available through other GM brands.

Currently own a 2005 Saturn. Hmm if they close all the dealerships where the heck do I get parts if it breaks down?

According to them, any GM dealer should be able to fix the car. That said, a real world experience locally. We had a consumer news program go out and ask after a woman was told she needed to take her car to the nearest Saturn dealer (about three hours away from her, two from us). They went to a dealership I know well and interviewed them. The Dealership said the GM stated, you can take it to any GM dealer for work.
Then a friend of ours (mine and several who work at the above dealership), needed warranty work. It needed to be verified by one of their mechanics (non dealer mechanic on a car that most is out of warranty), and our "any GM dealer" said they didn't have the stuff to do it (computer reprograming updates). She ended up having it towed to a former Saturn dealer (now used cars) who diagnosed, and was able to get a local dealer (think they bought some of the old Saturn dealers equipment) to come out, tow it to them and do the warranty work. Otherwise, since they HAD been a Saturn dealer, and still had the equipment, they were going to be on the phone with GM to get them to cover the warranty tow, to Topeka KS.
