Friday, June 05, 2009

General Motors Corp. and Penske Automotive Group today confirmed details of a proposed transaction under which Penske would acquire the Saturn brand.

GM's Saturn division already offers a 4-cylinder Vue Green Line, but at the 2008 NAIAS, the automaker introduced an all-new model that combines a 3.6L V6 with an electric drive system. At idle, the gasoline engine is turned off. The vehicle takes off and maintains a low cruising speed by using electricity only.
