Pretty bad, not exactly professional production, eh?
What the Astra really needs is the engine from the Cobalt. What the Cobalt really needs are the steering, seats and telescoping steering wheel from the Astra.
Come on, GM, you have the parts to make a really good small car-do it already!

Re: Vid Review: Saturn Astra, this guy is hard to listen to.

I think we are getting a new more powerful Astra in the fall or sometime next year. If we don't just give us one with a trunk (two and four door) and a more powerful one with more cupholders.

Come on GM !!!!!!

I don't know, it looks like it accelerated adequately when he started it up...

Re: Vid Review: Saturn Astra, this guy is hard to listen to.

The Engine does sound good though, but at 20 mpg overall its not that great. I get an average of 22mpg in my Grand Prix 3.8(when trying, mostly city)

Somebody didn't take their meds this morning... Then again, when the show is called "CarBuzzard", don't expect much.
