Thanks for the thumbs up. I think the car looks good too an the more I see of it, the better I think it looks.

I'm sure this will be in the US, no dobut about it. However, I question if this spyshot is the Opel/Vauxhall/Saturn version or the Chevy versioin. Chances are that from the look of the circle emblem on the steering wheel, it's an Opel variant. We may yet see the "global Chevy" version to be sold in the US and around the world.

Who knows, they may keep it.

But if GM is looking to create more global appeal and have commonality, I'd bet the name would go. We could get the Optra name adopted for the car world-wide ---- GM has renamed all their European offerings with the Canadian market names as vehicles are redesigned/reintroduced. As such the Kalos became became the Aveo and the Evanda became the Epica. We may see the same with the Optra.

Of course there is something to be said about keeping the name for North America and a different name elsewhere...but we'll have to wait and see how this unfolds to know for sure.
