An extra 28bhp over the standard VXR to create a 1.6 litre 225bhp pocket rocket. Awesome technology, catastrophic torque steer.

[...] catastrophic torque steer.

Oh my! You have read my mind so clearly! It quite frightens me. :AH-HA_wink:

Would be an interesting little hot hatch here, esp. if Dodge does a Breeze SRT4.

True, although the regular "warm" Corsa variants are more driveable. Rumours persist of Saturn versions in the next few years.

Not bad at all...

But not my cup-o-tea.

By 2014 there will be no differences between what Opel and Saturn have to offer Europe and North America.

i have no problem with that.... but keep GME within Saturn!

You shouldn't fear what you don't understand!

Actually what Lutz said was that Opel and Saturn would be largely indistinguishable by 2014. However, they will not sell each other's entire range of products verbatim.

LOL.

Shouldn't you be fearing what you do not understand?

Because if GME does not understand american buyers then your job will be on the line. We enthusiasts have plenty of options.

You enthusiasts are few, the general car buyer is many! Do the math! :AH-HA_wink:

By 2014, Saturn/Opel's line will look mostly like this ...

... and they will be unified by a new, shared logo, maybe this one ...

... or maybe even this one.

Need I remind you of our influence and marketing?

Basic cars might sell to americans, as long as they're marketed under the asian brands. Let's face it, asian car buyers make the purchase on name alone most of the time. But GM does not enjoy that kind of goodwill. Just look at their current line up for proof; it caters mostly to enthusiasts because GM knows that it needs more than "the basics" to sell cars.

Go ahead and make GM bland, then I'll be sure to track you down in a few years for the face to face "I told you so"

with the amount of times i defend GM, we enthusiests should be factored in.... RWD V8s! remember that!
