#7999 of 8478 is by nippononly Nov 03, 2009 (7:20 am)
the Cruze for sale already? Could they perhaps have come up with a better name than that? Replies to this message: bumpy (Nov 03, 2009 9:22 am) dodgeman07 (Nov 03, 2009 12:12 pm)

Replying to: nippononly (Nov 03, 2009 7:20 am) It is... in Europe, Australia, South Korea, etc. Supposedly we'll get it in another year or so, but last I heard GM hadn't even started on the engine plant for the 40+ mpg 1.4T yet, so I would have to assume we'll get the old 2.2 from the Cobalt (and Cavalier) instead. Other markets get the underwhelming 1.8 from the Astra. Replies to this message: dodgeman07 (Nov 03, 2009 12:12 pm)

Replying to: bumpy (Nov 03, 2009 9:22 am) Other markets get the underwhelming 1.8 from the Astra.   ----------------------------------------------   We will be getting the 1.8 also. The 2.2 will not be available. The top engine, the 1.4T should be available by the U.S. launch date next summer.

#8003 of 8478 Pontiac G8s Re: Does anybody think... [m4d_cow] by rayainsw Nov 03, 2009 (12:52 pm)
Replying to: m4d_cow (Nov 01, 2009 12:21 am) “Pontiac is doomed and the company pulled the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard: that it will re-ship the leftover G8s to be sold in Australia. Hello???? Australian cars have right side steering, meaning the cars will have to be re-modified for Aussie market, just how much will that cost???”   My understanding is that they were actually planning to build a limited run - from parts already stamped \ assembled in stock & still IN OZ. Planned for installation in G8s that will not now be built & exported to the USA.   Specifically, I’d guess, those parts [ hood, front bumper, grill, etc ] that would be the same for left or right hand drive. . .   http://www.carpoint.com.au/news/2009/large-passenger/holden/commodore/exclusive-- - pontiac-g8-revived-in-australia-16339   - Ray G8 GT driver. . .

#8005 of 8478 Opel stays by steve_ HOST Nov 03, 2009 (5:00 pm)
"General Motor board of directors, meeting in Detroit Tuesday, has voted that the automaker keep its European subsidiary Adam Opel AG in light of the improving environment for GM and the importance of Opel and Vauxhall, its British entity, to its global strategy, the automaker said in a statement issued late Tuesday."   GM Board Votes to Keep Europe's Opel (AutoObserver)   Replies to this message: fezo (Nov 03, 2009 5:59 pm) imidazol97 (Nov 03, 2009 6:06 pm) steve_ (Nov 03, 2009 6:27 pm) andre1969 (Nov 03, 2009 6:56 pm) m4d_cow (Nov 04, 2009 4:47 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 03, 2009 5:00 pm) Smartest move I've seen in a long time from GM.

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 03, 2009 5:00 pm) RElated to GM:   Is the symbol for OPEL with a horizontal lightening bolt really dorky looking? Or is it just my impression of it and others think it looks modern, cool, up-to-date?   I assume the other is VAuxhall with the bird going through the circle. It looks like an old Pontiac hood ornament from the 50s. Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 03, 2009 6:27 pm) andre1969 (Nov 03, 2009 6:56 pm)

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 03, 2009 6:06 pm) The one on the left is an Opel one from 1935 I think. I got it from Wikipedia. The one on the left should be the current one, but the link talks about them changing it again.   Ah, it's the "Zeppelin" Opel logo from 1937. link
