@Pessimippopotamus: actually it was a Pontiac that became a Saturn that became a Opel.
While they came out around the same time, (actually the GT came out first by a weird quirk if I remember right) the Sky was designed for Saturn and moved to Opel, not the other way around. #buicklacrosse
@Jim Topoleski: Well, if we want to go back that far, it's going to be
The Pontiac (Solstice Concept) that begat a Chevy (Nomad Concept) and a Saturn (Curve Concept) that never was, that begat a Vauxhall (VX Lightning Concept) that almost became an Alfa Romeo that became a Pontiac (Solstice) and a Saturn (Sky) that became an Opel (GT) that didn't become a Vauxhall and became a Daewoo (G2X) instead. #buicklacrosse
@tonyola: I had one of these. Only my wife's Datsun F10 was more industrial. On a hot day the vinyl seats would mold to your body; you literally had to peel the car off of you. #buicklacrosse
@Jim7: A Datsun F-10? Oh my. I haven't seen one of those in ages. Those had the biggest googly-eyes ever. The wagon looked at least semi-normal by Deep-Malaise-Japanese standards. The hatchback coupe was something else altogether. #buicklacrosse

What about the Vauxhall that became a Saturn that became an Opel that didn't become a Vauxhall and became a Daewoo instead?

Nothing is really new. Who here remembers the Buick Opel by Isuzu (yes, that was its official name)?

If it makes you feel any better; I never watched it. I just remember that from the commercials... #buicklacrosse
