Saturn is also making a move, which is news all by itself. At the just concluded 2006 New York Auto Show, GM’s happy brand debuted three vehicles, and there’s news that Saturn will get the Opel Astra as a replacement for the Ion. The Astra is a stylish and popular car in Europe, and would look quite nice next to the new Sky and Aura. Good cars that look nice never go out of style, so here’s hoping that GM’s renewed interest in the Saturn brand will result in renewed interest from car buyers.

They may even get the attention of the New Orleans police department. Not that it’s hard to do, if you’re a new car. Apparently, during the post-Katrina chaos, at least 90 police officers helped themselves to vehicles from the local Pete Sewell dealership. Rather than complain, the dealer put up billboards in the area that read: "New Orleans' Finest Drive Sewell."
