The Saab Saturn dealership had their last sale and has been closed. A sign of the times when the Saturn brand has now been thrown on the automobile name brand scrap heap.

The future of the auto industry in North America is being shaped by a few individual innovators, such as Neil Young who is spearheading an amazing zero emission vehicle.

Young's team is commited to perfecting a clean power technology system that provides economic savings for the car owner, helps to save the planet, and enhances the security of the world.

There is still a lot to overcome if electric cars are to become part of the clean future we need. We're up against a lot.... the entire middle-east, the U.S. Government, all 50 State governments, the entire auto industry, the oil industry.....

Today there are 162,000 gas stations in the U.S. The states take in about $30 billion in fuel taxes annually, the Federal Government about $25 billion annually. No politicians are talking about this issue and how to address it.

Never mind the oil industry. Most of the automakers' business plan is wrapped around a 50X markup on parts electric cars don't need. If the US taxpayer is paying to keep these companies going it is past time for them to change. No one said it was going to be easy.

The Lincvolt Development Team is targeting the biggest electric car problems. Limited range and eventual battery replacement worries are the two biggest hurdles that electric vehicles face in the consumer market.

Lincvolt will never run out of power and leave passengers stranded. Lincvolt's batteries will last for the life of the car. Powerful Lithium Ion Iron Phosphate batteries are one of Lincvolt's silver bullets. Lincvolt's efficient 75KW generator system will re-charge these batteries before they get near the limit and dramatically extend their life.

On long-range journeys the Lincvolt generator system will cycle on and off while the vehicle is underway, automatically making sure that Lincvolt is charged and ready for any power challenge.

On daily commutes, Lincvolt's 75-mile all electric range will allow zero tailpipe emissions. The electric grid is getting smarter and cleaner every day with renewable energy sources coming online. That is Lincvolt's nightly power source. Today that is wasted power that is generated all night long.

It is going to take some hard choices for the change we believe in to become a reality. It is really time for world leaders to step up and act.

  • @peanutbutterisfu not only that, but Detroit, which is GMs headquarters, was and still is having a finacial crisis and thats one of the major reasons why Saturn and Pontiac was discontinued.

  • @peanutbutterisfu its just to bad gm didn't have some one smart to realize things.i cant tell you how many people said if they still made the S or L series or even the older vue they would still buy them,but sadly gm didn't realize that sales fell when they stepped in the door.all the newer saturns were a crappy gm with tons of problems so what customers we did have lost faith in the brand.and gm wonders y they go bankrupt,they need some people that know what there doing

  • when we sold the s and L series we would sell 120 cars per month.then gm stepped in and took gm cars and put a Saturn emblem on them,sales cut in half.Saturn customers wanted a small economy car with plastic panels not a chevy with a Saturn badge.Saturn brand was made to compete with the honda civic,which they did for years until gm ruined it.customers kept fixing there old saturn cuz we didnt sell anything like it any more so they went elsewhere for a new car.so great job once again GM

  • Too bad Saturn Failed. Contrary to what people say, Saturn were making excellent Quality cars.

  • woot pickering

  • I think the dealer next to them was a Jaguar/Land Rover. Its also closed.

  • My dad worked here too.

  • So sad. This was my dealer... I purchased my VUE Hybrid there just last year and the staff there were top notch.
