Those looking for a crystal ball into the future of GM's Saturn in America may want to take a bus (air or otherwise) to the Frankfurt motor show next month, where Opel will be showing its newest, high-performance OPC version of its Vectra sedan and wagon. The Vectra OPC will get a 255 hp version of the aluminum 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 (top speed of 161 mph) and six-speed manual transmission. Aside from a decent showing on the autobahn, Opel's latest could hearken a Red Line version of the upcoming 2007 Saturn Aura for the US. Oh, and don't forget the next-generation Saab 9-5, with which will likely share more than a few components.
