- There's an interesting article on GM, with discussions of Saturn and
- Olds, in the 9 Nov 92 issue of Time magazine (in the U.S. at least).
- One fascinating tidbit: Saturns are priced *below* their burdened cost
- in an effort to jump-start the market. ("We lose money on every sale,
- but we make it up in volume!") This from a company that files suit
- whenever they perceive "dumping" by foreign competitors.
