"Should I buy a Saturn car?"
As opposed to the planet? ConsumerReports.com says:
General Motors stopped building Saturn cars and SUVs immediately following the announcement that Penske Automotive Group would not to buy the rights to the brand. GM now plans to sell off the remaining 12,000 Saturns by the end of January 2010, shutting down the brand, much like it is with Pontiac right now. Saturn dealers are watching the calendar closely, and it is a safe bet that there will be significant incentives offered on these last vehicles. But should you purchase a Saturn now? In a word, no.
Scientists discover massive ring around Saturn

* Newly discovered ring is so large it would take 1 billion Earths to fill it

(CNN) -- Scientists at NASA have discovered a nearly invisible ring around Saturn -- one so large that it would take 1 billion Earths to fill it.
The ring's orbit is tilted 27 degrees from the planet's main ring plane. The bulk of it starts about 3.7 million miles (6 million km) away from the planet and extends outward another 7.4 million miles (12 million km).
Its diameter is equivalent to 300 Saturns lined up side to side. And its entire volume can hold one billion Earths, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory said late Tuesday.
(I'm starting to think NASA has used it's funding to hire a computer geek that is good at Photoshop.)
General Motors Pulls Plug on Saturn
" A deal to save General Motor's Saturn brand fell through after the car dealership Penske Automotive Group unexpectedly abandoned a bid to buy Saturn, prompting GM to say it would shut the Saturn brand down.
In June, GM and Penske agreed to take over Saturn and related dealerships, although GM would produce the vehicles for a limited period of time.
Since Penske's canceled the plans to acquire the Saturn unit, GM said it will wind down the brand and its roughly 350 dealerships nationwide, potentially putting 13,000 Saturn dealership jobs on the line.
Penske's announcement comes nearly four months after they had agreed to buy the rights to the 19-year old Saturn brand from GM when the automaker was in bankruptcy.
Shares of the auto dealer Penske fell 10% after hours of the announcement."
