The Blazer is just our Blazer with bulged fenders and a different front end.

I like the front end and interior of the Astra.

I gotta tell you... there is nothing there, at least looks-wise, that gets me more excited than what Chevy-USA offers.

Cool

I have personal experience from three of the vehicles. In European form, though...

I've driven a couple of Opel Astra's and Vectra's while travelling in Europe on business. Nothing to write home about, but still pretty decent cars driveability and quality wise. :blah:

Also, this summer I drove an Opel Zafira for about two weeks while on vacation in Finland. I have a friend working as a GM of a big Opel dealership, so he cut me a nice deal.

Peppy little 1.8L 4-banger, weird driving position (part truck, part SUV, part minivan... ), room for four people and lots of luggage. Adjustable (length and recline) second row. Optional 3rd row, but then you won't have any room in the trunk.

Cost? About $35K...

That Caprice is niiiiiiiiccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.............

Anyone seen the Brazillian Chevy Montana? I think it is based off the Subaru Baja. Looks kinda fun

I have to admit that Caprice is HOT and is just what Chevy needs.

Also, is the Montana (see pic below) built off the Astra chassie? it doesn;t look like a re-done Ute. looks smaller.

Montana

BTW, why couldn;t we get the Celta instead of the Aveo. Even though it looks like a redone Civic of the 90's, it's alot more attractive then that block wedge styling Aveo that we got.
