Word is, Saturn would like GM to spin it off as a fully independent company free of GM’s corporate culture and let it get back to being the “different kind of company” it was originally supposed to be.

According to Business Week, GM’s been discussing a slightly different plan.  It involves tying Saturn’s ankles to a huge chunk of GM’s debt and tossing it off a bridge, along with Hummer and a bunch of “underperforming operations”.  GM walks away debt-free and smelling of roses; Saturn washes up on the shore of the Detroit River.

I guess that’s just how they do business in Detroit.
