Saturn Astra

After years of struggling for a complete lineup and a clear focus, GM's Saturn division is solving its problems by repositioning itself and by becoming the North-American outlet for Opel products. Late in 2007 the Astra compact will be available in the Saturn dealerships in the United States and Canada with a mild adaptation of its original front end. For the rest, the 2008 Saturn Astra is nearly identical to the 2007.5 Opel Astra, sold in Europe.

The Saturn Astra that replaces the Ion will be sold in three-door and five-door configurations. The Ion was available as a 4-door sedan or as a two-door coupe with suicide half-doors. Curiously, this happens just when Ford announces that the Saturn Astra's most direct rival, the N-A version Focus, will abandon its three and five-door models in favor of more conventional three box shape. The Astra will be unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show in February 2007.
