Answer "yes" only if:
* You want the Pontiac G8 to be sold in the USA.
* You think GM needs a small hatchback and you think the Astra's the best thing they've got.
* You wish Dodge could keep selling the Sprinter here now that the Germans made them take a long walk off a short dock.
* You have any hope of seeing that Zeta-platform Chinese Buick here in the US.

Look, the problem is not building one car and selling it under a bunch of different names in a bunch of different places. The problem is building the same damn car with the same damn options (but a different nose clip!) and selling it with five different (but equally forgettable!) model names at five dealers on the same damn AutoMotorPlexMilePark in the same damn suburb. I'm looking right at you, Pontiac Torrent.

To summarize: rebadged cars built in other parts of the world and sent here for our automotive delectation: GOOD. Cadillac Cimarron: BAD.
