A whole buncha racetracks, car dealerships, truck rentals, and service centers.
From what I've read, GM will continue making Saturns thru 2011-2, and then the brand will become a 'rebadger' of foreign makes. That seems to make sense. If a brand makes one or two cars that would do well stateside, but can't bring the $ for development of brand and support, Penske steps in with an existing dealer network and supply logistics. He IS buying the Spring Hill warehouse, but NOT any production plants, so the scenario makes sense. He said in his conference that he expects "Saturn to be profitable day 1" because they will not be in manufacturing. Hmmm...a Saturn F1 by McLaren?
More likely he will bring back Daewoo and any Chinese knockoffs he can find.
