Combined, i.e. IC + electric enginesInteresting idea!That one doesn't existe anymore If not a Buick (and really... why not?) I'd do it as a Chevrolet. The problem is that the Astra's interior design is the same as the Verano's, so... They could try... but I think they need to work on the sport side of their image a bit more. Start with the Adam first. Still think Buick would be a better plce for the car... Re the Adam, IDK... Adam is more youthful than sporty (except for the new Adam S)... Something a little more outrageous like this Astra to get attention and a couple months later introduce the Astra GTC range as the Buick Astra, maybe?... I'm thinking about the target American market here.... I think about all the Mini-Coopers in Suburban McMansion America... and that could be an excellent Buick Adam market. I admit you could be right. I mean, someone I know in FL exchanged her F-150 for a MINI Cooper, so........... "Suburban McMansion America" can do some weird twists and turns from one car purchase to the next...That one doesn't existe anymore If not a Buick (and really... why not?) I'd do it as a Chevrolet.

GM's not even willing to ship the regular Astra GTCs over to the US!...I read that the plan is the XK being replaced by something more GT in nature with the F-Type covering the sports car part of the sales spectrum...

Offering spartan commercial vehicles has not tarnished the Mercedes-Benz nameplate here in Europe, so I really wouldn't expect it to do so in the US. The images of the brand differ a great deal from there to here from what I've seen. MB's image in the US is one of snobbery, to put it in a very politically incorrect way. Over here the image is of a top-of-the-line car maker that also makes other products such as commercial vehicles (which it has for decades, BTW). The fact that the company produces delivery trucks under the Mercedes-Benz name has never stood in the way of the company's other cars being regarded as top-of-the-line.
