- Thu Jan 31, 2008 2:43 pm #40243 Ok i just saw a commercial about it, and heard about it coming out before too. And i couldn't help but rolls my eyes at the commercial. one of the selling points of the car was its "European styling" um.... of course its European styling it's a fucking Vauxhall Astra... one thing that annoys me is when Auto makers take a car they have in one country then slap a different brand badge on it and claim it's an all new car... this is especially prominent with GM vehicles i find...

See a difference ?
Saturn Astra


Vauxhall Astra


didn't think so...

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither

- Thu Jan 31, 2008 3:01 pm #40244 I saw that commercial too, it's fucking lame.

"European Styling" so...Europeans are better, their culture is better, their cars are better, remind me why I'm still living here? Oh right, because our cars have "European Styling" now, what a load of bullshit, you know half the population would hear that and say "Oh wow, that's nice!"

Exactly. you never hear a car like the cobalt being sold in Europe and advertised as "American Styling" cause it would never sell...

So why not just make all cars equal in quality chances are that the Saturn Astra interior is going to be 10 times shittier then the Vauxhall one

Race cars are like boats I guess. Time to bust out another thousand.
