You missed the /sarcasm at the end of his post. The Toyota/GM and Suzuki/GM alliances were good for GM and produced good little transportation appliances. They also helped GM meet CAFE standards whilst selling millions of gas guzzling pickups. Saturn as an autonomous entity was a good concept, until the management at GM pulled them back into the corporate fold. That pretty well killed the car line. No auto maker is immune to poor management decisions.
