Not on all models. Why not? Which model was tested by Popular Mechanics?
Meanwhile, avoid the Saturn. It does not have reliability and value so often touted by those who 'feel' rather than learn.
Having said that, if Fiat does get Opel, then will Saturn be saved?
What did Marchionne do to save Fiat? What is he expected to do to save Chrysler? Remove the #1 problem - top management. 85% of all problems - including Saturn's poor reliability - would be directly traceable to top management. Buying a Saturn also says, "Keep destroying America. Keep destroying American jobs."
UT's many points posted up top are old news. DeLorean defined them in his 1970s book "On a Clear Day, You Can See GM". MaryAnn Keller defined them accurately and bluntly (ie The Reckoning(?)) - which is why GM banned GM employees from taking interviews with her. The LA Times defined the problem in 2005 - so GM tried to bankrupt the LA Times. And Michelle Maynard (?) of the NY Times has been quite blunt about this. The many points needed no response because some were defined even by Ralph Nader in the early 1960s - "Unsafe at Any Speed".
Problems have remained that long and were that well understood. For 30 years, GM would not put a major innovation in any car until required by a government regulation. GM did exactly what is taught in business schools. UT's points have been routinely known for decades.
