Huge losses could jeopardize future of GM's Saturn

Article Abstract:

The fate of General Motors' Saturn division remains uncertain after losing $850 million in 2000, and is expected to lose as much in 2001. Saturn's executives say the brand would survive, noting that dealers make money off Saturn. The brand also occupies the top spot in JD Powers' survey on customer satisfaction. Moreover, three-fourths of Saturn customers say they would not have bought a GM vehicle if there were no Saturn.

Automakers think outside the hybrid: Cylinder-saving engines, 'clean diesel' could help drivers save fuel-even if they don't want to

Article Abstract:

U.S. automakers believe that Detroit is going to work on the issue of cutting fuel consumption in less obvious ways. General Motors, Ford Motors and Chrysler Group all have plans for hybrid cars and trucks starting in 2004 but they also are continuing to apply advanced technology to conventional engines that will be far more than hybrid's saving.
