I would like GM to offer such a people mover here either as a Pontiac or Saturn or Buick. They could do what Saturn and Opel did with their Solstice sibling, and keep most of the body panels the same and change the interior and grill, lights, etc. Big question : where will the Opel be built? I assume that a 40 mile range would be far more comprehensive in Europe, where I believe that commute distances tend to be shorter. ========================================== Any European crossover will most certainly be too small for Americans and would have an upward size pressure should it come over. Either way, what you might not have remembered is that if it becomes an Opel, it will likely re-appear here as a Saturn in the future. # kent beuchert Says:

Lyle, what do you make of the battery pack? It appears to have round components rather than square or rectangular. Interesting photo!

Understand the Opel Astra is best selling car in Europe. Having it based that design would be good. Myself I would prefer a Volt based on a Astra type design rather then the orginal Volt. The original Volt looks unique and fast but do not think it is pratical. I think it looks like the Opel Astra (soon Saturn
