Arrival at the Saturn Welcome Center
On Friday morning (May 23), we made our way to the Saturn Welcome Center. |
|
|
The building that is now the Welcome Center used to be a barn for horses. Much of the land that Saturn owns around the plant is still farmed. |
Inside the Welcome Center are a lot of exhibits dealing with Saturn's history, role in the community, and of course, their cars. |

Reception and Plant Tour |
We all gathered in a meeting room inside to wait for a bus which would take us on our tour of the plant. Snacks were provided for us while we all made sure everyone had the necessary security badges for our tour. |

Unfortunately, cameras were not allowed inside the plant. Maybe they knew we'd be keeping an eye out for the upcoming ION Redline models... As a group of enthusiasts, our tour was a bit longer and more
detailed than it normally is for the general public. This was fine for us, as we
were able to get a great look at what needs to happen to build one of these cars. I
was amazed by the complexity of the process, and how clean and organized the plant was. |
