Seansene 1st Gear June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 Read the fine print. It laments Saab as a marque with individual character. It looks like the Swedish maker is forced increasingly to conform to GM's draconian ways to climb out of the red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 does that mean the next leganza will be rebadged a saab? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 GM damn chapalang! The 2.0 LSJ engined SAABs are one of the better engines that GM has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Neutral Newbie June 28, 2005 Share June 28, 2005 Well, seeing they've already tried with the 9-7x, why not ? Or they could go down-market and start off with the Kalos..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear June 28, 2005 Share June 28, 2005 Incidentally, i read that Holden in Australia is using an ex Daewoo model as the new Vectra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Neutral Newbie June 28, 2005 Share June 28, 2005 Boy, feel really, really sad for them Aussies already....couldn't they bring in the real Vectra ? What next ? A 4-ltr Leganza as the next Commodore ? Or maybe an Espero HSV.....hey, I like the sound of that.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear June 28, 2005 Share June 28, 2005 Well..they claim that the vectra from europe is too expensive as a source.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear June 28, 2005 Share June 28, 2005 Plus the Vectra's 2.2 is probably classified as a supermini's engine... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstcall Clutched June 28, 2005 Share June 28, 2005 Incidentally, i read that Holden in Australia is using an ex Daewoo model as the new Vectra with the kind of chapalang mix and match branding, they'll never build a strong brand anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear June 28, 2005 Share June 28, 2005 Holden is mainly sold in Australia, and Aussies love them... Its a real strong brand over there.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear June 29, 2005 Share June 29, 2005 They've done that with the Barina. The Aveo will appear in Australia as the Holden something. Actually been reading up at Daewootech, the engines that the Aveo and Optra uses are Holden engines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
