Yes just imagine the new saturn owners that discover that door panels
and fenders are no longer ding and rust proof and that a 12 year old
one will look better than a new one when it gets few years old and has
dings and rust from scratches. GM is making a BIG mistake here with a
car feature/trademark but they have been making a lot of mistakes on a
lot of things so this is no surprize. And people wonder why they are
loosing more market share every day. It is all about building them
cheaper not better.
