Will Saturn/Penske become the new template for auto retailing?

“The announcement that Penske Automotive Group will buy General Motors’ Saturn brand is one of the most significant developments in a month that has been full of significant developments. The proposed acquisition marks the beginning of a new business model in this industry; a model in which the distribution side of the business controls the brand and manufacturing is conducted by one or more sub-contractors.”
