Magna takes over Opel http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8074924.stm Quote:

Honestly, this is about the most exciting news I have heard in a long time. A true, Canadian auto maker. The dream plan for Magna : buy Saturn, consolidate vehicle lineups with Opel (beyond the Astra and Sky), use existing manufacturing capacity within Opel/Saturn/Magna to continue building cars. Use excess capacity as cash-flow (liquidate) or for R&D. Man this makes soooo much sense on so many levels. You already have the brand identity and infrastructure in Europe. Saturn could be your North American gateway. Love it. |
^ would you buy a canadian car? Proly wont cuz no matter where its made, its still a saturn! |
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo dammit. opel is gone. |
it's good only we get the OPC |

This could be badass indeed! |
Rebadging the GM Saturn back to Open or Vauxhall might freshen up their image in North America. Bring in some Opel Insignia!!! |

Your profile says "vehicle: Honda" , and good on you for supporting domestic products! |

Saturn actually has good cars. It's just too bad that people make comments such as yours that perpetuate the myth that "ZOMG domestics are bad cars!" |
^Too bad that they so ignorant, that they fail to realize it's all Opel underneath the skin. |
i'm confused... is magna canadian, or canadian/austrian? |

I have never heard about Magna |
Quote:
and no, you can't really call Opel a Canadian automaker. that's like saying Jaguar and Land Rover are Indian cars. |
but the parts are made in canada. |
They should do something about the brand image. Seriously, call me ignorant, but I'd love to get an Opel, but not a Saturn. |

reminds me of an episode in initial d when they stated that the nissan gtr was a domestic... a good car maybe a good car but again the perception is what counts in a lot of people...same thing as why people buy brand items rather than no name... |
[QUOTE=Lomac;6448822]Aaah, image whores. Why the hell does it matter what badge is on the front of your car? A good car is a good car, regardless of who makes it. QUOTE] Not really. Ur car is an extension of urself, just like ur clothes. Why do u buy expensive clothes when cheap Old Navy clothes will last you just as long? |
