Gm may give saturn another SWEET ride

LukasJ · 08-08-2006, 11:08 AM

OK so I get a big discount on GM and DaimlerChrysler. So I am excited more that Saturn is turning into Opel as it seems Europe gets much cooler cars than us. Now I live in detroit area and occasionally see test mules. One of Gm's big flops(one of many) is the Saturn Ion. It ends this year and is to be replaced by the Opel Astra (rumored till this morning). I rode my motorcycle to the gym when I leave get stopped at a long light. What test mule do I see next to me. Opel Astra test mule No. 7 manufacturer plate. The guy in the car had to see me staring I am jumping around my bike trying to see the interior. As in most cases when they bring a car from Europe the change the interior design completely as "they know what kinds of interior americans want". Since you know we don't like cool looking interiors we prefer cheap and boring. I am happy to say that it was almost exactly like the European version. Center LCD stack I just didn't see the audio controls which they probobaly will change. It was black and SWEET. I AM VERY EXCITED say bye bye to the golf, gm's own cobalt/G5, and the ford focus this baby is PIMP. Looks better in person too. I didn't see if it had the panoramic roof though. I am sorry if you care or not I need a new car in 1 year or more and I have been drooling over this car since it came out. FINALLY a pimp car if the leave it.

Looks like a nicer version of a civic. Not bad, what type of powerplant does it have?

CROWLER · 08-08-2006, 03:04 PM

Do you think you could get me a discount on a Viper?

I have been making a REAL lot of money with my business and have saved up almost $500 I will have another $25 when I finish cutting the neighbors lawn, would that be enough?

LOL..supp business a little rough bro?

LukasJ · 08-08-2006, 03:15 PM

Cowler ummm NO.

DF they have sweet diesels over seas but you know that won't make it here. I believe some decent 4 bangers and a fast VXR in Europe. It's not known if they will get stuff like the cobalts run of engines or not. Most likely if they stay with Europe a 1.8 litre and the 2.0 litre supercharged.

lol actually LOVING it. I really think I am getting addicted to work. I can go for 16 hours no problem then have to FORCE myself to go take a nap for a while. I am TRULY blessed to love my work as opposed to when I owned my last health club that was NO fun at the end so I sold it.

Too many employees etc etc

I would love to see a hyuge bodybuilder in a Smart car. That would be awesome! It's a Daimler product. For the US residents they are coming here in 2008

No I mean they have been here in Canada already for 2 years.

LukasJ · 08-08-2006, 04:46 PM

ahh yes then I believe you get other versions of cars before the US also. I think like more of the diesels. you also get certain European bodystyles I think before they make it to the U.S..

lol..that weapon system sucked. It barely hit that stationary target never mind one that would be running all over the place blasting your SUV full of lead.

LukasJ · 08-08-2006, 05:45 PM

DAMN it it's still a prototype and those are for Americans cause we like guns and will find whatever way to make a joystick do all the work for us. Them gunz bez heavy. Not to mention do you think we actually stick our arms out the window how is a grandma gonna bust a cap in your ass if it's nasty outside or raining. Unless it's drive through or the finger we do not stick our arms out the window.

Sheesh learn more about lazy american culture, and your supposed to be our 51'st state and trading partner. Gonna make us cry. Hurt our feelings I though canadians were eerily nice and stuff that's why you can't trust them Aaaay

**romanaz** · 08-08-2006, 07:09 PM

good, Saturn needs another good car. the sky is SWEET and a good one to replace the crappy ION would be good.
