A Brief History of Saturn
-
Saturn Corporation was started by General Motors from
scratch in 1985 in response to the success of Japanese and
German small-car imports in the United States. It was promoted
as a "different kind of car company," Saturn operated outside
the GM superstructure for a time, with its own assembly plant in
Spring Hill, Tennessee.
GM Chairman Roger Smith and UAW President Owen Bieber drove the very first Saturn off the assembly line in Spring Hill, Tennessee in July of 1990.
The brand was immediately known for its 'no haggle' prices. The first Saturn Model, the Saturn S-Series, was a huge hit.
Soon after the first cars hit the streets of America, favorable reviews start pouring in. Sales were good as Saturn cars started earning one award after another. In 1993, Saturn reported it's first profitable year and everything seemed to be going well for the small GM-owned brand.
In May 1995 Saturn's Millionth car was produced. In 1996, the short lived GM EV1 hit Saturn Showrooms. In 1997, Saturn entered the Japanese market. In January 1999, Saturn rolled out its two millionth car. In late 1999, Saturn began production of its all new L-Series.
In 2000 Saturn introduced its first Compact Crossover Sport Utility Vehicle, the Saturn Vue.
Starting with 2003, sales for Saturns began to dwindle which forced GM to retire several models like the L- series and the Ion.
General Motors tried to sell Saturn in 2009 to Penske Automotive Group.
After that deal broke down in September of 2009, GM said that it would shut down its Saturn division.
