but Saturn did turn completly into a Opel in the states, which was cool. But those cars didnt appeal to us. ive seen maybe 4 astras on the road.
The new Insignia sits on GM's Epsilon II platform.
I read the 2008 Malibu sits on the Epsilon (I) platform. But next Malibu will sit on the longer and wider Epsilon II.

That's true about Saturn. I don't know if it had to do with what they carried from their past but the Astra is a fully European market car. It's built in Belguim.
