The millionaire businessman and passionate automotive, Roger Penske, abandons the distribution of small smart in the U.S.. It must be admitted that its plan to sell more than 20,000 units per year in the country of Uncle Sam is difficult to achieve. Faced with this failure, Penske decided to abdicate, leaving the distribution to the beneficial owner of the mark, Mercedes-Benz.

Roger Penske had undertaken to sell the small city, of organizing and maintaining a network of dealerships while maintaining the marketing campaigns. Now is the Stuttgart manufacturer that will ensure these areas. Mercedes provides the direction of joint decision that is consistent with the objectives of sales are higher for next year. And these goals are stakeholders of a broader strategy to increase market share.

It has sold nearly $ 14,000 less smart last year compared to the 2009 vintage. For its part, Penske has been able to sell small cars in 5927 throughout the U.S. in 2010. This is definitely not enough for billionaire auto. Several rumors about the future of the brand. One of them, the arrival of a possible four-seater version of the smart. Meanwhile, Nissan abandons its plans to build a four-door hatchback in conjunction with smart. Times are tough for the small city!

Roger Penske would buy it Saturn?

At a time when General Motors tried to get rid of much of its builders, certain scent ... good deal!
Thus, Roger Penske would be interested in buying Saturn.
But first, who is Roger Penske? He is a former American racing driver who began by buying a car dealer before becoming one of the most important automotive sector in the country. Incidentally, it was he who distributes the Smart in the United States.
But his passion is motorsport, where his teams have distinguished themselves in many disciplines for many years.
Tony Pordon, a spokesman for Penske, said:
"We have an opportunity to acquire Saturn, but it's very premature to speak of redemption today. Anyway, I can confirm that we're interested."
Penske would be the second buyer the most "credible", after Black Oak Partners.
Saturn would be a worthwhile acquisition, because in addition to the extensive network that represents the brand, it has very close ties with Opel!

The hocus-pocus of Roger Penske

The legendary Roger Penske hopes to bring the IRL champion Sam Hornish Jr., Sprint Cup (formerly Nextel) for the 2008 season.

However, it has not managed to qualify to drive a Dodge for Team Penske. Roger Penske came up with the idea of ??transferring the points of the owner of the No. 2 Dodge of Kurt Busch to that of Hornish, which would allow it to start the first five races of the year, regardless of its time qualifications.

Indeed, for these first races of the season, it is the owner's points last season that counts. As for Kurt Busch, Penske does not doubt his abilities to be able to qualify. And if he could not do it, there would still be his six appearances "free" thanks to its championship in the past. And NASCAR has approved it!
