This car is a complete flop, I have not seen a single one on the road, and I live about 5 miles from a Saturn dealer that has a ton on the lot.

Yes it it does look good, but it does not sell, it's expensive, it does not have enough feautures or hp, the MPG is not high enough and again, it's too expensive, and there is no way to make it cheaper without GM further loosing their a$$ on the car.

This car needs to be made in Lordstown OH or Ramos Mexico ASAP, it needs to be able to get at least 40MPG hwy with a manual, a normal radio, a better looking trip computer that tells time normally and easier to use, an optional navigation system, bluetooth, again ADVERTISEMENTS, a lower base price(hence the US production)some advertising(?I have not seen any commercials for just the Astra) and optional higher performance version, a normal sedan, ADVERTISEMENTS,

Have you driven one?

Didn't think so, try it.
I dont care how it drives, I am sure that its nice, It needs to SELL. Thats the problem, It could be great, fantastic, like if it was touched by the hand of God himself, but if there is no advertising, no sales support and the car is at a price disadvantage because of the EU to $ ratio, then it will continue to fail. Thats a FACT.


Note that I never complained about the engineering or the way the car drove, from what I have read, that is not the issue with the car, and how the car drives and handles has nothing to do with my post.
If its drives so well why are you not an owner?
