About a year ago, Bill McGraw of The
Detroit Free Press bought a Saturn Ion.
After reading a vicious anti-gourmet coffee rant, McGraw decided to see how much cash he would have saved if he hadn’t
given his money to GM’s disconcertingly amorphous sub-brand. We’re talking parking tickets, gas, insurance, parking
tickets, depreciation and parking tickets. I won’t reveal the exact figure, but McGraw reckons he
spent between $7000 and $7006 dollars enjoying the benefits of personal mobility. Not surprisingly, the
scribe figures the money would have been better spent on public transportation or… gourmet coffee. Would that be
fair trade coffee Bill?
