ZL-1

Did you happen to notice where the side-mounted turn signals are on the Opel? I know it's a small silly detail, but the yellow Opel provided to European magazines for testing did not have them. I could be a good PR move, although I'd suspect the average consumer really doesn't care where/how his/her car is built. Personally, I'd love to tour the Bowling Green plant, just because I have this thing for Corvettes: if I had the money I'd shell the 120K/150K Euro that one costs over here in a heartbeat :AH-HA_wink:

Moro em Linda-a-Velha. E tu?Para a maioria dos americanos, carros europeus só de marcas "premium". Carros como o Renault Alliance nao deixaram boa impressão nos EUA. E há a questão do tamanho: grande = bom nos EUA, não tanto na Europa.

Very nice looking car! A 2-door version might look even better.

Opel logo on that one!

As Ravenfreak13 suggested, the Astra would be a good option, namely the 5-door model. Unless you're really looking for a wagon or MPV... too bad the Zafira hasn't made it to the US...

Olá Deds! What pulls Americans away form diesels is essentially prejudice (they see diesels as noisy fuming engines with little power) and to some extent price (diesel isn't subsidized by the government as it is in Europe, indirectly through less fuel taxes).

holy sh*t!

And different tail lights and different bumpers\end of wise-ass comment Basically the same car, with different details inside and out.

I'm not so sure it will be called the 2-series. The sportier model will not be called M1, because that name is still associated with the mid-engine M1 in people's minds.

Orange, but the one that you squeeze from real oranges.
