Why bother with the rebadges? That just wastes engineering resources. Tool 'em up in N. America and sell them with their original nameplates.

Unlike Saturn and Pontiac, Opel and Holden don't have any stigmas associated to them. The only Opel anyone remembers is the Manta and people think they're pretty cool.
