[thumper]

why is it they won't put the turbo engine they have in the solstice/sky into the aura? i had a ride in the normal astra they sell here and it felt lacking in the power dept. :(

[asian_XL]

^ they did...and it's called Cobalt

[thumper]

colbalt=aura? :(

[Kaiten]

whoa, that humongous fucking windshield is fantastic

[Mancini]

European prices are not at parity with the North American market. I wonder what that would actually cost if it were sold here. I like it.

[cococly]

ASTRA VXR/ OPC is a GOOD car.

Built quaility is good.

I do not know why GM doesn't bring this sport model here.

They only have the SATURN ASTRA, no turbo model or anything...

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

funny how GM is an american brand yet they keep the better line ups away from their own country :rolleyes: go figure

[KinseySS]

for the OP pics. I heard they might be bringing this car over to NA under Pontiac calling it the G3.

[Adsdeman]

OMG its a vauxhall thats not a good car!

[too_slow]

I love the Astra.. They're super cheap too! you can get a 3dr top of the line for $18k (there'a $5000 cash incentive right now).. Too bad there's no sunroof option on the 3dr :(

[Boostaholic]

well 30k USD you can buy a 370z in the states.

[The_AK]

They should drop Saturn and bring the Opel brand into North America. Even though european Opels are rebadged as Saturn here i, as well as others, have always had a negative perception of Saturn. I'm sure they would be able to convert some Honda customers over to them.

[q0192837465]

Saturn and Mercury. I dunno, they'r pretty gay names for a car brand

[The_AK]

oh yea, mercury, good call
i dont think they even carry mercury here anymore,
it seems so redundant to carry the exact same models that they make as ford/lincoln except to include minor changes

[KinseySS]

oh yea, mercury, good call

They still have Mercury in the states (unless they got rid of them recently)

Not that I was sad to see them go in Canada those many years ago

[The_AK]

by here i meant Canada,
edit* nevermind, i remembered which car it was, it was actually pretty fail

[KinseySS]

Are you thinking of the Capri?
