In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, GM killed off several of its brands as part of a large restructuring process. Although this enabled GM to weather the storm and survive in the long term, it did remove several longstanding names from the market, Saturn being one of them. Although, unlike other members of the family (Pontiac for one), this brand hadn’t been around that long, it still makes up an important part of GM’s history.
