Saturn to Withdraw from Canada

Michael Moore may paint our neighbor to the north as a socialist paradise, but times aren’t all that easy for Canada’s auto workers and dealers.  Half of the sixty Saturn dealers already jumped ship and now Penske Automotive, Saturn’s new owner, is bringing worse news for the remaining thirty: all Saturn sales in the country are to cease.  Penske’s attention will be turned to forming a long-term partnership to survive in a toughening US market.  Renault has been mentioned as a likely candidate for that alliance.
