The rumours were true:

2008 Saturn Astra

I'm sure thos car will spawn a lot of aftermarket support. You'd probably be able to modify a stock Astra into something resembling this:

Yeah, I think this dates back to before the Detroit show.

Wow, that actually looks pretty good. If they can put at least a 170hp engine under the hood and keep it below $20k then

I hate the chrome on the grill though. Body color would look way better

Agreed. I predict that a lot of owners will swap it out.

A saturn I'd actually buy! ahha

But yes, I agree.. that chrome grille gives that chrysler feel to it.. which is ugly IMO.. European Astra front end FTW!

The suspension on mine is scary at 120 hp . Also , that is the OPC (Opel Performance Center)version . Probably the Saturn Astra RedLine will look the same .
