Default Saturn Japan


Does anyone know when Saturn Japan shut down, or when Saturn stopped exporting to Japan?

I know they never built there, but there was a part called Saturn Japan. Gotta have someone in charge of marketing & such. Does anyone know for sure when they quit shipping? I know I've seen at least 1 second gen SC2 in pictures of saturns in japan.

Default Japanese Saturns

Whoa! I was just looking for Japanese Saturns. There's not that much information on the Web about Japanese Saturns but I did manage to find the Saturn Japan web site but my computer cannot traslate Japanese. The site is called SaturnJapan.net Or type in Keith Wicks General Director Of Saturn Japan.

I want a right side drive Saturn!

You can find a right drive SW in the US, of course. I'd like a right drive SC.

I wonder how much importing costs... Be sweet to have an imported Saturn, lol.

A RHD SWP will always be a Single overhead Automatic. Not too common anymore either.
