With Saturn all but dead...I am concerned about ongoing availability of parts. I do believe mechanically the parts shoudl be around due to the Acadia and Traverse...is that correct?

Now...if their ever is physical damage...or cosmetic...parts could be tough to come by. I am contemplating whether or not to trade in my Saturn for another Lambda...even though I love it.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Get the Enclave!    But, to answer your question...do you think it's hard for Oldsmobile owners to get parts?  Do you think it's hard to get parts for discontinued models, like a Bonneville (I have one), since they don't make that anymore?  Do you realize how many models of cars are discontinued all the time?  Having Saturn, as a division of GM, go away, is no different than a model being discontinued, or changed within a car line.  I have a 72 GTO, and still can get parts for that...which I know is a little different, those are restoration parts places, but I wouldn't worry about parts for a vehicle that's not that old.  Even if GM went out completely, there would be a demand for parts, and there would be companies who would make them.

They are required to keep x number of parts for 10 years out I believe. These would be the ones that can't be carried over from the other 3 Lambdas (this would apply to any car/truck). If your not having problems, keep the Outlook, it's a great ride.

Yes I would assume most (if not all of the parts) are not made by saturn.

And since the model has been around for 3 model years now...if 2010 was its last model year (4yr duration of design)... that would be very similar and normal to other design lengths (maybe a little short)

So ya like 09 said , its not really different then a complete redesign of the model. Parts are only for repair/mod's after that.
