But for once the USA may benefit from badge engineering if they start to bring in more Opels as Saturns (see the new Saturn Aura).

If Lutz had a brain he’d bring them in as Chevys and beat Ford once and for all. Saturn may have lost a lot of their customer base because of their recent models but Chevy will always have a loyal following. (As a Ford man I can’t believe I said that, but it’s true.)

I’m with “nikivee” just go take a look at the Sky. You’ll see they’re the same car. Just a simple re-badge.

“The GT is based on the same platform as the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky. It also borrows heavily from the design of both cars.”
That is an understatement, it looks just like them.

It is a Saturn Sky rebadge, that is all.

not really… if this car is the replacement for the speedster (and i think it is) that car will be built in the us, just not sold here… however it is based on the kappa platform of the solstice/sky so federalizing it should be a piece of cake, in theory…

Sweet take on the Solstice/Sky… you won’t get an Opel in the US without having to import it yourself.
