Dragon Force was one of the best games for the Sega Saturn. It was released in Japan as a Sega Ages Collection for Playstation 2, but unfortunately we are not that lucky here in the U.S. Dragon Force was translated and released by the now defunct Working Designs (great studio) and released for the Saturn in 1996. Dragon Force's claim to fame were the epic battles with up to 200 troops onscreen with 7 different troop types (soldier, samurai, archer, mage, harpy, dragon, or zombie) but it was a tremendous strategy game with a ton of replay value (8 different Rulers to Choose from). The graphics were great for their time and there will full anime cutscenes that were very stylish. The orchestral music worked well with the theme and the epic battles with some (though little) real time intera
"The 2008 Saturn Astra is the single best selling car in Europe," says Yves Laberge, Vice President and General Manager of Turpin Saturn Saab. "And now it's available in Canada." With an impressive list of standard features, the Astra is described as a sport- compact with features like firm European tuned suspension, premium sport seating, and a high-output Ecotek engine. It's the type of car that allows you to forget about some of life's distractions and instead focus on the thrill of driving.Being a major sponsor of Tour Nortel is something the people at Turpin Saturn Saab are extremely proud of, but it is also something they feel is simply part of the responsibility that goes with being a part of a community."We have had an ongoing relationship with CHEO for quite some time," says Mr. L
The Saturn Aura is about to become obsolete. GM's European wing has officially leaked photos of disguised Opel Insignias on test. Insignia replaces the Vectra, which is the Aura's donor car. The Insignia will be revealed at the London Motor Show on July 22.Insignia is the first car on GM's new global Epsilon platform, which provides replacements for the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6, Saab's 9-3 and 9-5, Cadillac BLS sedan/BLT wagon in Europe, a Korean-built car sold as a Suzuki, a Holden in Australia and the next-generation Buick LaCrosse."All of these cars will be radically different from each other but they will all use common engineering solutions," Bob Lutz told us at Geneva. "They're going to be so different in aesthetics and driving characteristics, so it's not one car dressed up in di

Saturn Vue Green Line HybridThe Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid promises the power of a V6 engine while getting an impressive 30 miles to the gallon. In the city where speed limits are lower, drivers will be able to switch the vehicles engines to electric power to conserve fuel. On highways, the engine uses gasoline at a reduced rate of consumption. Drivers are going to love that they can have a fuel-efficient SUV with plenty of room. Priced at $25,000 to start, the Saturn Vue Green Line is a great way to save money on both gas and on the price of a new car.

Just because...This from NASA.Explanation: Spectacular vistas of Saturn and its moon continue to be recorded by the Cassini spacecraft. Launched from Earth in 1997, robotic Cassini entered orbit around Saturn in 2004 and has revolutionized much of humanity's knowledge of Saturn, its expansive and complex rings, and it many old and battered moons. Soon after reaching Saturn, Cassini released the Huygen's probe which landed on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, and send back unprecedented pictures from below Titan's opaque cloud decks. Recent radar images of Titan from Cassini indicate flat regions that are likely lakes of liquid methane, indicating a complex weather system where it likely rains chemicals similar to gasoline. Pictured above, magnificent Saturn and enigmatic Titan were imaged tog
Megastar Chiranjeevi is now going through a very rough phase in his personal life for quite some time. He was first facing with a series of flops a few years ago. Just when everyone thought that his career had ended, he came back strongly with films like Tagore, Indra, Shankar Dada MBBS etc. and silenced his critics.Then Chiranjeevi faced problems on his personal front. His brother Pawan Kalyan was caught in a bigamy case filed by his first wife Nandini. The metropolitan court in Visakhapatnam served notices on Chiranjeevi, Allu Aravind, Nagababu and other members of Chiru family. This caused a lot of embarrassment to Chiranjeevi.With great difficulty they managed to come out of this and were heaving a sigh of relief when Nandini once again approached the high court with a review petition.

Summary: When the former president Roger Smith of General Motors dreamed up Saturn in 80 years, he envisioned a small remote autonomous car company of the problems of bureaucratic GM sold 500,000 cars per year. But Smith retired in 1990 and his successors did not see it that way. They took away the independence of Saturn's are dead and the hunger for new models. After losing billions of dollars, Saturn has struggled with old ideas a few years ago when the GM (diagrams) decided to give him another chance. It has invested $ 3 billion, a few themes borrowed from conception to its German Opel brand, and sent him out to battle.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in our solar system. It is classified as a gas giant and is surrounded by rings. But when was Saturn discovered? This article will answer that very question and will also give you three interesting facts about Saturn.
The moon is seen passing through the shadow of the earth as it is photographed in Foxboro Wednesday Feb. 20, 2008. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes intoEarth's shadow and is blocked from the sun's rays that normally illuminate it. During an eclipse, the sun, Earth and moon line up, leaving a darkened moon visible to observers onthe night side of the planet. This is the last total lunar eclipse until Dec. 20, 2010. This eclipse occurred on a crystal clear night and was made extra special by appearances by the planet Saturn and Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo.Click here to visit this galleryClick here to visit www.GillisPhotos.com
My nine year old sleeps with the covers pulled over his head. I just woke him up a little bit ago so he could see the lunar eclipse. In his groggy state he asked me what would happen when Mars collides with the moon in ten years. I gathered that he read this interesting prediction somewhere. Perhaps a science fiction journal of some type. I don’t think we need to worry about that now, says I, ever so gently. His eyes gradually widen as he watches the earth’s shadow creep along the big cheese. “Wow! Mommy that’s cool!” He exclaims. Then he bounds back into bed. Up go the covers, like the earth’s shadow passing over the moon. I snuggle in with him, like a spoon, and his bare shoulder smells so good to me that I press my lips against its sweet softness.

cool -- it's GM's Mini: Is it a Saturn? A Saab? Both?GM left drawings of a proposed Mini Cooper-fighter in a design studio room where journalists got a preview of the work being done on the production Chevrolet Volt.The drawings illustrated what appeared to be a BMW Mini copy, a two-box, threedoor hatchback design with a conventional, vertical B-pillar. Both were illustrated in green with a white top, and one drawing showed what looks like a lift-off roof panel between the A- and B-pillars. It had a large, egg-crate grille and Chevy bowties.The other was a profile view of a light-blue car with a white top, its B-pillar raked, like that of a Chevy Nomad wagon.The car, if GM goes forth with the project, will not be a Chevrolet.

Tomorrowland article link Emissions from the Satellite Songs From The Planet Saturn
Put down your iPods for minute and listen to this incredible recording
of audio emissions from Saturn.
Captured by the Cassini spacecraft as part of the Cassini-Huygens mission, a
joint project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency,
the noises have been altered so that we humans can hear them, but the general
patterns remain intact.
Spooky, ethereal sound waves drift across the speakers like a flock of
homeless ghosts in search of a mansion. It's a confirmation of all those sci-fi
sound effects we grew up with, a mere theremin sweep away from a Doctor Who rerun. Weird.

In an effort to revitalize the Saturn brand, General Motors looked in the direction of the continent of Europe. With the help of its Opel brand, General Motors has so far successfully reinvented Saturn. The Outlook and the Aura are just the early offering from Saturn with European influence. Come fall of this year, General Motors will introduce a rebadged Opel Astra as the Saturn Astra in the United States auto market.
According to General Motors, in order for the European Astra to be accepted in the United States, it has to be both attractive in appearance and very driver-friendly. The first criterion, of course, is to ensure that the Saturn Astra can attract the younger generation of car buyers. The second attribute is to makes sure that upon test driving the Astra, potential car buyers would have a hard time walking away from the car.
The hatchback is designed with European styling cues. The trapezoidal headlight configuration and the wide open air intake grill accentuate the front
The God who oversees time, discipline and dedication, which means Capricorn can go the distance - with major staying power - in bed and beyond!! Capricorns are very good at hiding their emotions, so it's often hard to tell when they are truly, deeply in love. If you have a load of cash, you can almost bet on admiration from a Capricorn because the goat is turned on by money. Like I said before, Capricorn has great sexual stamina and the ability to go all night if they want to! FAVE POSITION: Spooning! Goat boys and girls love to take, or be taken from behind. BEST SEX TOY: An office desk to "bond" on, or an erotic video will loosen up the randy goat. CAPRICORN MALE IN BED Imagination isn't a strong suit for Capricorn so don't expect acrobatics in the sack. Sex with him could possibly be as
As Chevy’s iconic Corvette has passed through each successive generation, it has transformed into a bona fide supercar, a ride that can step into the ring with the world’s best and leave un-bowed. But that transformation has come at a price–literally. A base Corvette now costs nearly $45,000, a steal in terms of the capability it offers but expensive enough to price it out of the very niche it helped create: the accessible, all-American sports car.
And so we welcome a new patron of performance for the everyman, the Saturn Sky Red Line. At just under $29,000, the Red Line is exactly what the Corvette used to be: fairly cheap and plenty fast. The 260-hp, 2.0-liter, turbocharged and intercooled, DOHC Ecotec four sounds pretty damn good and will move the Red Line from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. The 6300-rpm redline and closely spaced gear ratios mean that you’re working the standard five-speed manual all the time, but with the Saturn’s solid shift action an

Wired has a good story on the Cassini mission, which is flying around Saturn--that's the planet, not the car--and gathering data for NASA.Moogs in outer space! Well, almost. NASA recently published several audio recordings collected during the Cassini-Huygens space probe's exploration of the Saturnian system, and it couldn’t sound more like a theremin-laden soundtrack to a 2001: A Space Odyssey sequel. (And yes we know there’s already a sequel, but we mean a good sequel. Sorry, Roy Scheider. We loved you on SeaQuest DSV.). Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions that are generated along with the auroras of the planet's poles -- similar to Earth's northern and southern lights.The eerie whistling, epic whooshing and warbling echoes collected by the probe's instruments sound as though they could have been lifted directly from '50s sci-fi classics like Plan 9 From Outer Space or Forbidden Planet. The audio of the mission's radar echoesare at the NASA site.Eerie.Back to
The Saturn Aura Green Line hybrid, introduced at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, will deliver at least a 25-percent fuel economy improvement over the non-hybrid Aura XE for a premium of less than $2,500.
The Aura Green Line’s base price is expected to start below $23,000.
“The introduction of the Aura Green Line broadens Saturn’s commitment to customers of enabling them to drive green without going broke,” said Saturn General Manager Jill Lajdziak. “With Green Line variants of both Aura and Vue, Saturn again demonstrates that environmental products can also be a great value.”
The 2007 Aura Green Line will be produced at GM’s Fairfax Assembly Plant, and will be available at Saturn retailers in spring 2007.
The Aura Green Line is equipped with the GM Hybrid system, which reduces fuel consumption fuel via sophisticated controls and a unique electric motor/generator mated to a 2.4L Ecotec VVT four-cylinder engine and Hydra-Matic 4T45 four-speed transmission. This i

The sheer range of desktop speaker solutions available means that we have to be particularly enamoured with a product in order to feature it here on TFTS and, whilst these Hammet Saturn 2.1 desktop speakers are by no means quite as eye-catching as the Nexspeaker Sailing Boat Speakers we featured previously (our thanks to the few sites that correctly credited TFTS as the originating source) they are certainly far removed from the non-descript box-like affairs offered by so many manufactures.
Offering 2.1 sound via two satellite speakers supplemented by a central subwoofer unit that serves as the system’s control unit, these are hardly going to immerse you in a sea of sound, but for people looking for a desktop speaker solution who don’t quite have the space for 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound setups 2.1 systems such as this are ideal – and the fact that they look as good as they do is a positive bonus.
These Hammet Saturn speakers come with line-in (ideal for hooking up your iPod) and
Thermal windows, whether with double or triple glazing, have a gas injected between the glasses to prevent thermal transfer from one pane to the other.When the seal between the glass panes is lost or damaged, outside air infiltrates the lost gas. When it gets cold, moisture fogs, forming a mist, or even frost, on the inside of the window.Vinyl Tech's double-glazed windows, with low-E glazing, offer not only excellent thermal protection, but the low-E glass also prevents a lot of the harmful, heat-generating, uv radiation from entering the house. Ultra violet radiation also can fade furniture and rugs close to the window.

Saturn today announced that the all - new 2008 Saturn Vue Green Line hybrid will have a fuel economy rating of 25 miles per gallon in city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway -- the best highway mileage of any sport utility vehicle. Saturn also announced that the Vue Green Line will have a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $24,795, making it the most affordable hybrid SUV on the market. "You can go green without going broke," said Saturn General Manager Jill Lajdziak, "and with the Vue Green Line, you also don't have to give up utility, safety or comfort." In combined city and highway driving, the Vue hybrid's fuel economy estimate is 27 percent better than the non-hybrid four-cylinder Vue. The fuel economy estimates are calculated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, using the government's new 2008 testing procedure that was revised to better reflect real-world mileage. The hybrid Vue's 28 mpg combined city/highway rating gives the Saturn line-up a compact utili

This is the real secret stuff, what your astrologer doesn’t usually discuss with you. Why?
Your Saturn points are deepest fears and your best keep secrets, stuff that runs deep to the core of our emotions. We don’t want to discuss these things, the anxieties that make us melt into a puddle of tears. Anyone who cares for us learns it is best not to hit that hot button, not to touch us “there.” Saturn in a sign, Saturn in a house, or Capricorn on the cusp of a house are all Saturn points.
How do know your Saturn points? For this you’ll need a copy of your chart or you’ll have to consult your local astrologer. Go to Astrodienst to get a free copy of your chart.

I received a very interesting follow up from Mark Unsworth of Islay Studios on yesterdays story about the new winter timetable from Calmac. I wrote that there was no sign of a second ferry for Islay in the winter schedule but the following contribution from Mark might shed some light in the ferry darkness.....Today the Calmac vessel Saturn normally based on Gourock-Dunoon route (Picture right: The Saturn arriving at Rothesay on the Isle of Bute) has been doing berthing trials at Port Askaig this afternoon. So possibly instead of the Hebridean Isles and the Arran working to Islay over the winter it could be the Hebridean Isles for a passenger service and the Saturn for freight only. Last winter the Arran was used to clear backlogs of freight from time to time, maybe this year the Saturn will be on the route fulltime, it isn't really suited to passenger traffic for this route being a smaller ship and with more limited catering services on board. Both the Saturn and the Jupiter do also c

Free Calls-SMS: Possible origin of Saturn’s mysterious G ringStanislav P. AbadjievWith data from the Cassini spacecraft, an international team of scientists may have identified the source of one of Saturn’s more mysterious rings. The enigmatic G ring is likely produced by relatively large, icy particles that reside within a bright arc on the ring’s inner edge. The particles are confined within the arc by gravitational effects from Saturn’s moon Mimas. Micrometeoroids, tiny meteoroids or particles of dust that pervade space, collide with the icy particles, releasing smaller, dust-sized particles that brighten the arc. Plasma, an extremely variable gas made up of charged particles but electrically neutral, pervades the giant planet’s magnetic field. It sweeps through this arc continuously, dragging out the fine particles, which create the G ring.The finding is evidence of the complex interaction between Saturn’s moons, rings and magnetosphere. Studying this interaction is one

Six months after the launch of the Saturn Vue Green Line, General Motors will halt production of the vehicle. In what may be the most bizarre product introduction in auto industry history, GM trumpeted the release of the Vue Green Line last fall—as a sign of the company’s commitment to hybrids and the environment—but will phase out production starting in March, and then start back again in September, replacing the 2007 Vue Green Line with the redesigned 2008 version. This start-stop will leave a six-month gap during which dealers will run out of the Saturn Vue Green Line. General Motor’s intention to release a hybrid version of the Saturn Vue dates back to the Detroit Auto Show in 2003. At that time, Tom Stephens, GM’s vice-president of powertrain, said, “GM will introduce a Saturn Vue with an advance hybrid system in the latter half of the 2005 calendar year.” Stephens indicated that “drivers can expect fuel economy gains of up to 50 percent” with the hybrid Vue.

Saturn has introduced an all-new mid-size sedan called the Aura. The 2007 Saturn Aura is the company's first truly credible entry in the most competitive segment of the automobile market. Compared with Saturn's last mid-size car, the unloved L-Series sedan and wagon that died quiet deaths back in 2004, the Aura is decidedly modern and fresh, with Euro character and aesthetic flair. Interestingly, the Aura has none of the plastic body panels that made Saturn famous in the 1990s.The Aura is based on the same safe, solid architecture as the Saab 9-3, which sells for thousands of dollars more. Compared with the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion, the Aura is well equipped with safety and comfort features.Aura comes with a choice of two powerful V6 engines. (And a hybrid model is on its way.) The Aura is competitively priced: The base XE starts at less than $20,495 and comes with a 224-horsepower V6 and four-speed automatic.

Saturn isn’t one of the my favorite cars but the Saturn Aura Green Line will be one of the first eco-friendly cars from GM.
The hybrid version of Saturn Aura has the following features:
It gets 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. That’s 8 mpg better city and 5 mpg better highway than Aura with its most fuel-efficient gas engine, a 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 20 city/30 highway. Not 50 or 60 mpg, but a significant bump.

GM has announced the pricing of the 2008 Saturn Vue crossover today. The base price sticker rose a staggering $3300 over last year's model. The new Vue, priced from $21,395, is designed to compete with the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and the Ford Escape.GM's global vehicle chief engineer told Automotive News that the higher pricing is the result of more standard equipement and overall value. The base model of last year's model was equipped with a smaller 4-cyl. engine and manual transmisson. The 2008 model receives a larger engine and automatic transmission as standard equipment.[Source: LLN]
General Motors in the US will once again call on its European cohort for its latest addition to the Saturn lineup. Starting from 2009, US customers will be able to sample the Vectra Caravan, which will be sold alongside its Saturn Aura sedan sibling. The first cars are scheduled to roll out of Opel’s Rüsselsheim plant in Germany in 2009 with an allotted 50,000 cars being shipped across the Atlantic.[Source: Motor Authority]Continued- ArticleThe introduction is part of GM’s push to offer more fuel efficient cars in its lineup. Both the Aura and its new wagon cousin are important vehicles for Saturn and form the basis of the brand’s rejuvenation as a profitable label that can compete with other European imports.Before the wagon arrives, Opel’s Astra hatch will hit showrooms in the US with the first orders shipping later this year. It doesn’t end there. Saturn execs are planning for the introduction of even more European designed models, with some cars, including the next-gener
The cross-pollination among General Motors worldwide operations continues. The Seoul Motor Show features the fourth variant of General Motors' Kappa platform and the third based on the Saturn Sky. The new GM Daewoo G2X is a rebadged edition of the Sky and Opel Speedster. The car being shown in Seoul uses the turbocharged 2.0L direct injected engine from the Sky Red Line. So far, there's no word from GM on when the G2X will be available in South Korean showrooms.

Hexagonal weather pattern on SaturnNot only is the universe a stranger place than we imagine I think it will turn out to be much stranger than we can imagine. Check out this weather pattern seen on Saturns north pole. If you go to the NASA site you can see a vid the Cassinni probe took of it at night time using infra red imaging. The bright spots are heat generated by the "weather" activity. And the dark areas are denser portions of the ever present cloud layer blocking infrared emissions. It is just absolutely amazing what we have learned from NASA's robotic probes. The Cassini-Huyghens mission has been a smashing success since day one. I regularly go to the Goldstone Deep Space complex where they downlink all the NASA and JPL space probe communications and even those jaded long timers have been surprised time and again lately. And this is only the beginning. My great regret in life is I know I can't possibly live long enough to see the really exciting things we will e
Bizarre Hexagon On Saturn(full article link)Technology News DailyAn odd, six-sided, honeycomb-shaped feature circling the entire north pole of Saturn has captured the interest of scientists with NASA's Cassini mission.NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft imaged the feature over two decades ago. The fact that it has appeared in Cassini images indicates that it is a long-lived feature. A second hexagon, significantly darker than the brighter historical feature, is also visible in the Cassini pictures. The spacecraft's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer is the first instrument to capture the entire hexagon feature in one image.The new images taken in thermal-infrared light show the hexagon extends much deeper down into the atmosphere than previously expected, some 100 kilometers (60 miles) below the cloud tops. A system of clouds lies within the hexagon. The clouds appear to be whipping around the hexagon like cars on a racetrack."It's amazing to see such striking differences on op
Saturn's southern pole boiled with a freakish eye in the middle of a huge storm last November, and now, the Cassini spacecraft has photographed a weird rotating hexagon at the north pole.Very, very strange happenings on Saturn lately.
One of the most bizarre weather patterns in the solar system has been photographed at Saturn, where astronomers have spotted a huge, six-sided feature circling the north pole. Rather than the normally sinuous cloud structures seen on all planets that have atmospheres, this thing is a hexagon. The honeycomb feature has been seen before. NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft imaged it more than two decades ago. Now, having spotted it with the Cassini spacecraft, scientists conclude it is a long-lasting oddity.
The hexagon is nearly 15,000 miles (25,000 kilometers) across. Nearly four Earths could fit inside it. The thermal imagery shows that the hexagon extends about 60 miles (100 kilometers) down into the clouds. The hexagon can’t be seen in Cassini’s visible-light imagery because the area is currently in darkness during Saturn’s 15-year polar night — but the thermal signature shows up clearly in the infrared views, captured during a 12-day period last October
1. Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar System and the sixth planet from the Sun. It is more than 800 times larger than Earth.
2. Saturn makes one revolution about the Sun in 29.42 Earth years.
3. Galileo discovered this planet in 1610. Saturn was named after the Roman god of agriculture. Saturn was the father of Jupiter (the king of the Roman gods).
4. Total system Saturn has 18 satellites. Perhaps there are more, in fact, but this is very little education. Saturn is also the only planet that has a satellite (Titan) with a dense atmosphere.
5. On the planet across the strongest winds in our Solar System. Machines recorded air speed of 500 meters per second. The strongest winds are found near the equator. They speed up to 1100 km/h.
6. Saturn’s atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen (91%), with small amounts of helium and methane.
7. Saturn is the only planet of the Solar System that is less dense than water.
8. Saturn is well known for its beautiful system of
General Motors Corp. said on Monday its Saturn Aura Green Line hybrid will qualify for a $1,300 tax credit, making it the cheapest hybrid in the U.S. market. The Aura, which will be the first passenger sedan hybrid from a U.S. automaker and will compete with Toyota Motor Corp.'s Prius, started shipping to dealers last week and will go on sale this month.
The folks at Saturn have finally slapped a sticker on their 2007 Aura Green Line, and at $22,695 (with destination fee) it undercuts the price of every other hybrid on the market. If that wasn't enough incentive to woo would be fuel misers into the dealership, the Green Line also qualifies for the $1,300 federal tax credit.[Source: Autoblog via GM]Continued- Article, official press releaseAs a refresher, the hybrid setup in the Aura combines a 2.4L engine to an electric motor/generator to produce 164 HP and 159 lb.-ft. of torque while returning current EPA mileage figures of 28 city/35 highway. The 30-percent increase in mileage over the base Aura is achieved by both shutting off the engine at idle and cutting fuel delivery during deceleration. The Aura GL is considered a "mild" hybrid since the electric motor doesn't move the vehicle on its own or assist the IC engine in acceleration at any time.http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/19/saturn-aura-green-line-becomes-lowest-priced-hybrid/P

The God who oversees time, discipline and dedication, which means Capricorn can go the distance - with major staying power - in bed and beyond!! Capricorns are very good at hiding their emotions, so it's often hard to tell when they are truly, deeply in love. If you have a load of cash, you can almost bet on admiration from a Capricorn because the goat is turned on by money. Like I said before, Capricorn has great sexual stamina and the ability to go all night if they want to! FAVE POSITION: Spooning! Goat boys and girls love to take, or be taken from behind. BEST SEX TOY: An office desk to "bond" on, or an erotic video will loosen up the randy goat. CAPRICORN MALE IN BED Imagination isn't a strong suit for Capricorn so don't expect acrobatics in the sack. Sex with him could possibly be as boring as watching paint dry and he tends to be a little bit selfish in that area too. BUT you can definitely count on him to be faithful if he has committed to you.

However, a comparison of cratering density between the interior of Odysseus and the surrounding terrain should show whether the large basin is at least relatively young.Odysseus is on the leading hemisphere of Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across).

In just a few days, Saturn will publicly unveil the 2008 Saturn Astra, the rebadged Opel that will be imported from Europe to replace the bizarre-looking Ion. In other markets, the Astra is available in a variety of body styles ranging from a four-door notchback sedan to a slick, sporty hardtop coupe/convertible. This is the part where we eat crow for predicting that GM would send over the notchback, because instead, they've chosen to send a pair of hatchbacks ( 3- and 5-door) to launch the model here in the States. The cars will target formidable competitors like the Mazda3 and VW Rabbit.Saturn's new trim-level nomenclature is employed, with base XE and topline XR versions for the 5-door. The 3-door will be an XR-only vehicle. All Astras receive a 140-horsepower 1.8L Ecotec four-cylinder underhood, which is mated to a 5-speed manual or an optional 4-speed automatic. Fuel economy numbers aren't available yet, but should come out as the vehicle gets closer to production. ~Source: A
CNN Money reports that Saturn's pulled the plug on its "Side-by-Side-by-Side Test Drive." During the promotion, Saturn dealers provided customers with [base model four-cylinder] Accords and Camrys to compare against [well equipped V6] Auras. Saturn marketing manager Matt Armstrong declared the two-month campaign a success, claiming Aura sales increased 24 percent (against a 14 percent drop in midsize cars' sales). In fact, Saturn sold 4,694 Auras in June and 5,827 in July. That's a 19 percent increase. Camry on the other hand, dropped from 46,630 sales in June to 41,514 in July, a 12% decrease. So was Aura responsible for the dent in Camry sales? Uh.... no. Accord sales rose from 28,915 to 37,142 during the same time; a 22 percent increase. In raw numbers, Aura's sales went up 1,133 in July, Camry's decreased 5,116, and Accord's increased by 8,227. No matter how Saturn spins it, the Accord was the big winner during the GM brand's "S
Can someone please explain this to me? To field a credible small car stateside, GM has decided to import the relatively diminutive Opel Astra from Europe into the U.S. and re-badge it a Saturn. Because of the unfavorable exchange rate between the U.S. and the Eurozone, and the fact that the Astra will be screwed together in a high-cost country (Belgium), GM will make a loss on every Astra sold. So the more Astras they sell, the more money they'll lose. And yet, Just-Auto [sub] reports that GM has decided to increase the number of Astras headed stateside from 30k to 40k per year. Originally, we heard that the Opel Astra was a "placeholder;" if it sold in sufficient quantities, GM would transfer production to the U.S. But building cars in the U.S. isn't any cheaper than assembling them in the land of mayonnaise on your french fries. It can't be a Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) pleasing deal, as the imported Astra wouldn't count towards GM's domestic CA
I recently visited the Saturn website to check on an Astra factoid. I was surprised to discover that the brand has dropped the "American" part of their "Rethink American" advertising strapline. It's now just "Rethink," with various bits added as and when needed (e.g. Rethink Hybrids). The idea of a generic prefix, followed by a campaign-specific suffix, is not new. Mercedes dropped it's "Engineered like no other car in the world" shtick a long while ago, in favor of a revolving series of "FILL IN THE BLANK like no other car in the world" pronouncements. Nissan has been shifting this and that for some time now, from Expectations to, uh, I can't remember. Which is the problem. While a flexible strapline certainly helps the marketing mavens, like any brand extension, a one-size-doesn't-fit-all marketing solution weakens the impact of the original, highly-focused brand promise. In fact, none of these automakers keep their strapline f
TTAC commentator (and now unintentional blogger) Lichtronamo dropped us an interesting email, which we reprint for your dining and dancing pleasure: "I was reading a Saturn brand Special Advertising Section in the April 2008 Automobile magazine (starting on page 40 and ending at page 53). On the last page, I caught this little nugget of info re: the Saturn brand: "Saturn was named for the rocket, not the planet". This raises at least two questions: 1. Wasn't Oldsmobile the "rocket" brand when Saturn was first launched (both the real rocket and the car brand, I guess)? 2. If Saturn was named after the rocket and not the planet-- as suggested by the ad-- then why is the Saturn logo a stylized image of the planet? Rethink that! [Note: if you come across a TTAC worthy i
Saturn is planning on launching a new online purchasing scheme which will allow even more of the buying process to happen online. The plan is aimed at moving functions like checking dealer inventories, applying for credit and scheduling a test drive to a unified Saturn online platform. Down the road, the website could also be used to handle the evaluation of customers' trade-in vehicles and to negotiate price using online chat and e-mail. Although this last goal is particularly strange given Saturn's "No Haggle" pricing, nothing about this initiative makes much sense, given that the point of huge investments in Saturn's standalone dealership network was not to keep people at their computers. Of course, this program is not being pitched as "the end of the Sa
