I don't blame Penske for not taking the plunge on Saturn, who would?

Yep.

Penske is no idiot. And he knows a charity case when he sees one.
I suspect he's got his hands full working with Daimler already.

Oh well, GM had a chance to actually make good cars (the S-series cars seem to be pretty good, mine has 125,000 miles on it and it runs better than my old Honda Accord did with a similar number of miles) but they screwed it up by making Saturn sell re-badged GM cars instead of Saturns. So, I'm not terribly surprised that the brand died. Does this mean my Saturn will become a collector's item (for those that like to collect icons of American automotive fail)?

Only thing they had going for them was the Kappa platform IMHO.
