Re: That's a Saturn?

Yea I was just about to buy a Vue the other day but i think I will go ahead and wait for the Astra. GM is pissing me off because they never have a good launch for a car they always run late! ALWAYS!!! When did the Malibu come out? They are still hard to find and the Astra is an existing product and they still can't get them here even after pushing the sales date back a month.

I love the reactions. That says it all.

Most average car buyers don't know Opel exists. Yes one person guessed Dodge but I guess you missed the part where most where guessing Honda, Toyota, and Mazda?

I didn't mean to put it down. Quite the opposite, since I can understand it being called a mazda or honda or toyota, but it looks nothing like a dodge.

True, to you and I and he; but not everyone is as into cars as we are. Most people around here don't know what an Opel is, but they could easily pretend they know something they don't, and call it a Dodge.

Re: That's a Saturn?

Interesting. I think the Dodge comment actually hurt their intentions with this video. At least they were honest in keeping it in there. I can't wait to drive one.

Re: That's a Saturn?

I'm still worried the Astra will fail, given how Americans sway from hatchbacks. Although I'm hoping it's a hit!

I'm guessing the coupe will outsell the four-door 3 to 1.

I hope it succeeds as well, but if the coupe outsells the four-door then I think Saturn will be in major trouble. Why? Because the four-door is supposed to be the lower priced sensible choice that the practical buyer will want.

Saturn has set some pretty low sales goal numbers for the Astra, so I suppose if they sell 20,000 combined they will consider it an overwhelming success.
