What a pile of rubbish... The VUE, or Opel Antara, is a GM DAT design (and product, when speaking of the Opel) with some styling cues by Bryan Nesbitt and those awful Envoy vents. The VUE was reengineered for the North American market and production (possibly to also absorb as many already-madde American-built components as possible). The Aura is also all-American, only sharing the front fascia look with the Opel Vectra. The Sky is also an American designed, also given to Opel (but not the other way around). The only "German" Saturn is the Astra (but it's made in Belgium and GME's design studios are now pretty much "European" rathe than "German").
