The retiring general manager of Saturn, Jill Lajdziak, will soon head Smart USA sales and marketing. Lajdziak spent time this summer with Penske dealing with the possible purchase of Saturn. The plan fell through when Renault vetoed a deal that would supply cars to a Penske-owned Saturn. Roger Penske was so impressed with Lajdziak that he hired her to become the VP of Smart USA. Though Lajdziak has a long road a head of her as Smart sales are currently plummeting.
