I fully expect the Buick Astru and the Saab Astri to be on the horizon.

Interesting... also, GMC had an Astro, and Chevy has had an Astra in some markets (Mexico, etc).

How about an Astry (using a Welsh 'Y' vowel)?

LOL

Potato

you missed something at the end there... phonetically you're right but there's still something missing.

This got me thinking...the name Astra has been used by at least 4 brands, but on the same car and in different markets. What about names GM has used on different vehicles across different brands through time? Like Astro or Calais... I'm sure there are others..
