What if....?

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I didn't know, for example, what situation Suzuki owners were in after the departure and I think that's what was on my mind. Glad to know it's probably not a big deal.

If Mitsubishi pulled out of the market, warranties would still be honored (Nissan?). Mitsubishi is more successful and offers more models in other markets, so the company would still exist.

That is a very good point! Mitsubishi could leave North America some day, but they have a stronger market presence elsewhere.

I would say the same about Suzuki, & they are good example of what it could look like for us some day. Having said that -

"Suzuki has over 45,000 employees and has 35 production facilities in 23 countries, and 133 distributors in 192 countries."

Whereas a brand like Saturn is gone!

I wouldn't worry about parts. We will be able to buy whole parts cars for pennies in the near future. I plan on stocking up
