Another subsidiary of automobile giant, General Motors, is the Saturn Corporation. Saturn is an automobile manufacturer which was established on January 7 1985. The birth of this company is due to the success of automobile importations in the US. Saturn’s identity was actually “a different kind of Car Company” and started out differently from General Motors.
Its assembly plant is located in Spring Hill, Tennessee. Because Penske Automotive withdrew a bid with General Motors to purchase Saturn in 2009, the parent company had to let go of Saturn brand and ended its market in October 31, 2010. Prior to this, the production of Saturn cars were stopped in October 7, 2009.

The name of the company was coined by Alex C. Mair where he pictured a new, small-car company with a codename Saturn in 1982. This idea was then publicized in 1983 by General Motors’ Chairman in the name of Roger B. Smith and its president, F. James McDonald.
Only one year after, the first Saturn car was then released and on January 7, 1985, the company was then officially inaugurated.
During the 1980s, General Motors introduced the Saturn Concept Car to the market. It resembled mainly to the first Saturn SL model. It was really not meant to start a new brand and it was initially decided that the Saturn SL was to be released under one of its brands during that time including Pontiac, Oldsmobile, GMC, Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac.
But at the end of the 1980s, GM then decided to have Saturn its own brand, debuting the first cars under this company, Saturn SL and Saturn SC.

The Saturn SW was then added to the list in 1992. General Motors planned on creating a new line for the Saturn Corporation including a wagon, a coupe, a sedan, and a sport utility vehicle or SUV, but did not pursue. Matter-of-factly, the first SUV under the Saturn brand called the Vue, did not make it until in the year of 2002.
