i remember when i couldn't think of many things odder than a saturn badge on a performance vehicle, and now to see a daewoo badge on the roadster, damn!


pretty cool

what else will this opel be sold as around the world?

 

This time Opel is rebadging a Saturn. Good thing this Deawoo will only be sold in Korea.

 

I think it looks kinda cool, alot better than the Solstice.

 

Uh... I'd say it looks about 99% identical to the Sky and its Opel counterpart, from that pic.

 

Just dumb IMHO.

 

99.99%, Badges only account for 0.01% of a car

 

Will it also be badged a Holden in Australlia?

So this thing is a Saturn Sky in the U.S, Mexico and Canada. An Opel GT through Europe and a Daewoo Roadster in Korea/probably China... ?

 

Nice of GM to spread this car all around the world when they can't even keep up with North American demand.

Unless these other variants are coming out once things settle down here ...

 

Wow, news to me. Especially since my company makes the HVAC for all the Kappa roadsters.

 

I want one and the pickings are slim. The Local Saturn dealership got their first two in and they auctioned them off that morning, both for a bit over $30,000. The markup went to charity which is kinda cool, but they told me that I was out of luck if I wanted one. Their waiting list is full. I'm waiting for the redline anyways, but I'm thinking its going to be fall of '07 before I can get my hands on one.

Edit: That would be wild if I bought an '07 redline a year and a half from now, to sit next to my '07 Tahoe that i've already had for a couple months.

 

I wonder if this is gm's plan not to saturate the markets, like the US with huge amounts of cars.. which in turn, keeps the value in check, and transaction prices high.. Instead they can spread the sales around globally.

 

thats exactly what is being said over and over again on the saturn forums
