    No, no, the Saturn version will look ugly, have at most an NA 2.4 Ecotec, and be nothing but front-wheel drive. Grandma will love it. THAT's a true Saturn.

    I'm really waiting for someone to sway me away from an Audi, I am. But I just can't get them out of my head. The new, unmistakable Audi Q5. The new, unmistakable Audi Q5. The new, unmistakable Audi Q5. The new, unmistakable Audi Q5. The new, unmistakable Audi Q5.

    @Ash78: Just don't forget the unmistakable feeling of driving it in the shop every week for repair. Bosch makes Lucas look like a supplier of dependable electronic parts. I have an A6. Nice to drive. Not nice to keep running.

    @MplsCarPunk: You don't have to preach to me on that. I have not one, but TWO fully-loaded Passats. My electronics are very similar to yours (hell, half of it's probably identical). Comfort control module, ABS module, window electronics...

    The ePRS (US Patent No. c11077983) translated the press release from the original German to this:


    GM, Opel and Vauxhall (collectively known as General Borg, or GB for short) announce the 2010 Opel Insignia OPC/Vauxhall VXR/Never Gonna See This in the States.


    The turbocharged 2.8L V6 in the Opel Insignia "OLE for Process Control", or OPC, will put out 325 hp and 400 Nm of torques. Complete with a 6-speed manny tranny, the Insignia will get to 100 km/h in 6 seconds and connect all your control systems together in one easy-to-configure system.


    Lowered by 10mm and with AWD, the Insignia is aiming to not be an insignificant member of the sport sedan market.


    We then repeat everything we just said, but did a cut/replace with Vauxhall VXR replacing Opel Insignia OPC. The major difference is interconnectivity via OPC is replaced by another acronym tying this car to the completely badass VXR8.

    Alright people, let's gear up and save Saturn. We need to import these som'bithces to Saturn dealers asap. Charge $10k less than comparable Audi A4. Saturn, "We can change!"


    1. Move steering wheel to left side.
    2. Import to Saturn dealer.
    3. Leave Opel badging on car, change nothing.
    4. Charge less than Audi.
    5. Defect from GM.
    6. ???
    7. Profit.

    Why bother rebadging anymore? Just bring it over as is.

    @Miscellanea, 1-800-CASH-4-JALOPNIK-GOLD: The easiest thing to do might be to sell it as an "Opel by Buick."

    Is this a Haldex system? Just curious how much this is a boosted rip on a 9-3 Aero XWD.

    While a Saturn Red Line model would be the natural choice, perhaps Pontiac can be persuaded to keep 'building excitement' for a bit longer. This might also be your new SAAB.

    While I would love to see this as a Saturn, I think we should face facts that it just ain't happenin'.


    How about a Buick Grand National instead?

    See, General? It's not that hard to make a good car if you put your mind to it.


    Notice all teh awesomeness in the press release: "All is well! All is good! This car is like and S4 without the "cock" badge and the price tag!"


    But I couldn't find economy/emissions numbers in there, although I don't care much for it, does not bode well for the majority of buyers out there who are obviously budgeting or they would have an S4.

    You know, this makes two Saturns I'd actually consider buying (if it comes here).


    The Astra is far and above one of the nicest hatchbacks on the road in the US, but its too pricey.


    If this thing makes 300hp and gets AWD, I'd look into it.
