So, the <span style="font-style: italic">Skye</span> really is falling.

Too bad...they now had some decent vehicles and a good dealer network. I thought Penske could take them to the next level along with his Smart Car (a dumb car actually) tie-in.

That's a real bummer. My fiancee is from Tennessee, and there's a big plant there. Lot's of jobs.
With both Pontiac and Saturn consigned to history, I wonder what will happen to the Solstice/Sky platform. I've read that they had reliability problems, but I always thought that the Solstice was a cool looking beast.

Yes, indeed - a HUGE hit to the midstate. The town of Springhill was little more than a dot on the map before Saturn arrived.

Yeah, that (along with the loss of jobs) is one of the things that I feel bad about.
Our Miata is 10 years old (but still perfect). We had talked abut giving it to one of the kids and looking at a new Sky or Solstice.
There is *nothing* else from the US manufacturers like the Solstice/Sky.
I hope this doesn't make the rest of you gasp, but in the long run I was hoping the Corvette would morph onto this platform.
Oh well....maybe the new FIAT/Chrysler connection will bring some interesting cars to North America.

Except for a '55 Chevy convertible & a Buick Skylark, I'm innocent.

I worked for a large company once and it was being sold. In a meeting where the employees were being told of the pending sale I asked what the price would be and after being told I suggested that at $14,000 per employee we should buy it ourselves. They all thought it was stupid and felt they were better off accepting their fate. The company has since been closed down.
I still think it would be a smart thing for the workers to buy the company themselves instead of all the whining. This working for the "man" has to end.
Oh, I left that company shortly after the sale and started my own engineering consulting company. Things were much better.
