lets settle this argument: GM worked like this in 2008: Opel is German. When Opel goes to the UK, it is badged Vauxhall. When Opel goes to the USA, it is badged as Saturn(now Chevrolet in 2012). When Opel goes to Australia, it is badged as Holden. When Holden goes to the UK, it is badged as Vauxhall. When Holden goes to America, it is badged Pontiac(now Chevrolet in 2012). So, next time you post a comment, get your facts right.
pretty fuuny when the bald bozo in the yellow convertable drops his big gulp all over himself, classic advertising, he's a duffus because he doesnt drive a saturn.
GM please listen to me. Combine Saturn with Pontiac and call them Opels. Leave the G8, Vibe, VUE, Sky/Soltice (rename it GT), bring the Meriva and Corsa or Agila.
Idiot. A lot of people here in the U.S of A. DONT LIKE AMERICAN CARS. Even if you tell them they are better then some foreign cars they still WONT BUY American cars. So if Saturns where changed to Opel's in name also they will buy these cars. Why do you think Saturns dont' sell?
You can't turn Kias into luxury European(ish) cars overnight - GM alienated the Saturn buyer base the moment they started GM'izing the brand, integrating the components and well, everything else.
It's not nearly as simple as saying 'OH WELL IT'S A NAME THING'. For some people it is, turning two brands into a brand new nameplate won't change perception issues (HELLO IT'S A STILL A GM).
I agreed with you on this one "GM alienated the Saturn buyer base the moment they started GM'izing the brand" But you be surprise how many people now the Opel brand around the world and having another global name-like Chevy or Nissan-usually does wonders for a brand. Oh well, Saturn is dead what can we do about it I was going to buy a VUE but after hearing the rumors and now the facts, even if I can get a fully loaded XR or Redline for 1/2 I still wont get it.
You know what ass hole. Saturn happens to be a good company. I've had my car for a number of years and the only problem i've had with it was the windsheild go cracked. So wile you fuck oneother dude, you can be laying down and thinking, I sould have thought twice. You must have been high when you had you Saturn!

Saturn is a SHIT CAR, made like SHIT, Buyers are treated like SHit from Saturn the minute they get your money. Hope they go out of business and ASSHOLES like you are on the unemployment line. F**** U and Saturn
except this isnt a saturn lol. its an Opel you dipshit they just rebadged it, just like every one of their cars they sell now. You should be yelling at the French, unless your "shit car" was an ion or s-series, which dont exist anymore for a reason and werent european (trust me i own one).
erm.......no their not vauxhall was first before opel and they are designed in vauxhall london then they are built all over europe such as luton england, germany and spain as well as others they are more vauxhall than opel
roulainde, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Vauxhall designed their last car 40 years ago and there are not and never have been more Vauxhalls than there are Opels. Opel is sold in all of Europe, South America, Russia and the Middle East. Vauxhall is sold only in the UK as the brand solely exist to make british people feel like they still have a automotive industry. Ellesmere Port and Luton are General Motors Europe plants, not Vauxhall.
Is this hypocritical ad? Making fun of people who are trying to be different - then in the same breath the guy says "... with its European design..." It's just an entry level car. Why are you trying to be so chic by riding on the European design bandwagon. Fine its a car from Opel, but its hardly anything but cutting edge european design. So I find this ad very hypocritical.

You haven't put much thought into that have you?
GM never understood Saturn.
You can't turn Kias into luxury European(ish) cars overnight - GM alienated the Saturn buyer base the moment they started GM'izing the brand, integrating the components and well, everything else.

And do you have any FUCKING IDEA how much money it takes to establish a fucking brand?
Quick reminder: Saturn has never been profitable, it's a been a money pit and a waste of resources from the day it was conceived.
The Roger Smith era and its leftovers (Rick Wagoner) stink.

My old Vauxhall chassis plate said made by Adam Opel, so the correct answer is they are Opels, badged as Vauxhalls.
