"We've also read rumors of an "ATS/ALS/ATX" product that could be based on the next Astra/9-1 as well. This would be a Europe-only (and perhaps China only) product and compete with the likes of the next gen Alfa 147, Audi A3, etc. Many have clamoured that GM needs such a product to fully fit into the market and compete with the established players. They may have a valid point and GM should invest in this segment." YEAH, and this is stupid as I have been saying. One argument of proponents for the mini-me cadillac is that it will make us really competitive in the euro-zone, righhhhhht.
