Saturn Japan extends reach

Article Abstract:

Saturn Japan, a division of General Motors Corp., has opened its 19th Saturn dealership in Japan in Sapporo. The car maker will also establish a dealership in the island of Shikoku, Japan, in October 1998. Yasuo Maruta, Saturn spokesman, said that Saturn Japan will have dealership on all of Japan's four main islands on or before fall 1998. The expansion of dealerships across Japan is considered essential for the success of US car makers because consumers are more willing to buy foreign vehicles if they are assured that they can be serviced nearby.

Additional nonstop flights between cites have also been added, making travel to the county easier and faster.
