It's officially official -- We're getting the Opel Astra as a Saturn

This is the GM Delta platform. Before you yell DEATH TO THE ION…

THE SATURN ION IS ON THE DELTA PLATFORM. So it won’t be a completely new car. Anybody that’s driven the Cobalt and the Ion knows how much of an improvement the Cobalt is.

a good review:

and a video:

do you know if we get the fun turbo version shown in the video?

Awesome. :tup:

Awesome quote from the review link you posted…

“The trouble with Vauxhall is that it’s part of General Motors, which makes all its money from finance schemes and therefore never seems to bother much with the product. In essence, GM makes cars like provincial tearooms make sandwiches: to satisfy a need among the elderly and the undiscerning. There’s never been any flair, élan or style. I honestly believe that the Vectra was designed and developed in a coffee break. It’s got four wheels, four seats and 4% finance with £500 cashback from Linda Barker herself, if you buy NOW!”

now that is funny. :lol:

ha…

but wait…

The Vectra VXR. Hello Aura redline? I hope so.

I think that just about nailed my feelings about GM.

Excluding the Vette of course.
