September 5, 200520 yr Author It might be a Chevy for Brazil or Mexico, but i have seen shots of the Opel Theta SUV, its another rebadged Nox [post="9950"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] Those are really bad photochops. Like this http://bilder.autobild.de/bilder/1/52039.jpg and this http://bilder.autobild.de/bilder/1/52248.jpg
September 6, 200520 yr That spy shot is the first of the Opel, which will not be called the Frontera, despite many media reports. Previous shots and renderings were either misguided pre-S3X speculation based on the larger Equinox, or the Chevy version of the S3X.
September 7, 200520 yr thegriffon, will this Opel become the next VUE? [post="10416"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] No
September 8, 200520 yr will it be more 'nox or more S3X? [post="11347"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] Don't know. But I would expect the Lambda to be a good indication. We still have almost 2 years before the Vue is due. Edited September 8, 200520 yr by evok
September 9, 200520 yr If Lambda has something to do with it, im going to lean towards the Sx3, enlse they designed the Nox, im not sure, did Lambda design the Nox?
September 9, 200520 yr Umm Lambda is an architecture, so therefore it has nothing to do with designing the Equinox. evok was saying that the Lambda (Saturn Outlook) probably gives a good look at what the Theta (next VUE) will look like.
September 12, 200520 yr Author Chop ????? From Autoscoops Opel Grand Tourismo Crossover Sub Theta? Opel's T2X? Looks like it's legit http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/au...xtrem.90179.htm http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/fo...a_gtc.90218.htm I moved The Autoscoops pic. and The AMS link to the first post Edited September 12, 200520 yr by Ghost Dog
September 12, 200520 yr http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/05/03/057990.html Here we go. The Daewoo that started it all.
September 12, 200520 yr The Opel Antara GTC concept makes its worldwide introduction at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany Monday, September 12, 2005. (General Motors/Olaf Gallas)
September 12, 200520 yr WOW! The Opel is perfect! Would make a perfect Saturn or Pontiac or Chevy. Just beautiful, and the T2x is clearly the ancestor of this car. The Opel just looks phenomonal from all angles. I am worried that we are seeing these cars too early and will have to wait now for introduction too long, the next Vue won't be for another two years, that's long.
September 12, 200520 yr Holy...! That thing is wicked. That should be a 2 door and a 4 door. It's a shame we have to wait a few more years for it to be the VUE (according to Ah-Ha).
September 12, 200520 yr I thought the T2X was a little goofy but showed a lot of promise. The Antara fulfills that promise and then some. Great job.
September 12, 200520 yr Author Pics From Auto Deadline I put links to 11 more pics in the first post Edited September 12, 200520 yr by Ghost Dog
September 12, 200520 yr The Germans sure like their chunky sport utes. I like this and especially that it is two door. I could see this in a drop top as well. Edited September 12, 200520 yr by HarleyEarl
September 12, 200520 yr According to this article - http://europe.autonews.com/news.cms?newsId=8696 - this will be identical to the next Saturn VUE.
September 12, 200520 yr I got so excited, didn't read it thoroughly....IS SATURN GOING TO DO A 2-DOOR SPORT UTE?....am I reading this right?!
September 12, 200520 yr Ah-Ha, were all, or at least most, of GM's future lineup as good as this? If so, wow, just wow.
September 12, 200520 yr It's sweet, I love it! Autonews says it is in fact the next VUE. When I first saw it was going to be a VUE I thought maybe they got mixed up with the sub-Theta, but apparantly not. Is that interior the prodcution version? If so, I think it looks really cool. Autonews quote: The Antara concept “will be identical to the future Saturn Vue,” GM Vice Chairman Robert Lutz said. “They can build it in a U.S. plant, and it will be identical.”
September 12, 200520 yr that interior is magnificent, definitely not production-ready, but it can be done pretty close to this, and those colors are fantastic....I want the 2-door version to come here too.
September 12, 200520 yr that 2 door version is wicked. i LOVE it. the 'c pillar' shape looks suspiciously Saaby, or kinda Euro like the outgoing 3 series coupe. Maybe this thing will be a Saab at some point. GM/Saturn needs this thing NOW. NOW THAT would be an awesome Vibe or Torrent.
September 12, 200520 yr Wow... Damn you, GM. Taking my love of Pontiac and mocking it with Saturn. :o
September 12, 200520 yr LEXUS ANYONE!? I find it really hard to believe im the first one to notice that this thing looks like a knock off of that lexus. i love the looks of it but hate that it resembles a toyota
September 12, 200520 yr I'm not seeing the Lexus knockoff except that the taillights are silver on both of them. BTW, the RX looks like it has about 2 feet of ground clearence in that pic because the Antara is so low.
September 12, 200520 yr YES!! GM is admitting it'll be identical to the next VUE! And I'll be among the first to see it at NYIAS! B)
September 12, 200520 yr I highly doubt the side exhausts will go into production, unless less Lutz was serious that it will be produced exactly as is. I'm thinking he meant more like 95% as is with smaller wheels, different door handles, different roof (without the glass), and probably regular exhuast.
September 12, 200520 yr http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive...html?page=2&c=y Edited September 12, 200520 yr by evok
September 12, 200520 yr Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the GMC a sub-Theta? If so, then it's smaller than this VUE, right?
September 12, 200520 yr The Antara concept “will be identical to the future Saturn Vue,” GM Vice Chairman Robert Lutz said. “They can build it in a U.S. plant, and it will be identical.” Read on.. From Automotive News Europe http://europe.autonews.com/news.cms?newsId=8696
September 12, 200520 yr We've got another thread about this, but it's cool if we have two. I absolutely love this vehicle, and if the new ION is as good, it will take the compact market by storm. The interior looks sweet, very futuristic yet not totally out there like the Quest. The exterior is stunning as well.
September 13, 200520 yr I kinda like the old VUE better... thought it fit Saturn's image better, but oh well, people will buy it. They might as well rename Saturn as Opel.
