In the middle of the latest talk once again a question is the role of the Department of Opel and GM will again wait for the improvement of General Motors. More briefly Saturn and Vauxhall was a soldier in the same or simply disappear into the landscape automobile industry? Automotive News seems that the question of Opel and Vauxhall observance of Saturn is so important and useful, three editorials on the issue, with various levels of clarity.
Richard Truett Formwork Saturn claims that would be a "huge mistake-sale restriction on the most loyal GM customers," says however that "Saturn fans for cooling with a switch to the Opel brand." We believe that the cars are well received by purchasers of Saturn, but the prices should be more budget for the spirit and objective of the brand needs a work deepens. Some believe that the Saturn car Bloggers entirely would be a mistake, because some are for the abolition of the mark as early as possible. Regardless of the barrier, where our people feel, all the concerns that the name change for Opel in the United States which are not constructive effect. Of course, if you hold Saturn, GM must do more to promote the brand, such as the Malibu / Aura situation.
While the murder of Vauxhall, mainly in the United Kingdom only rebadge Opel? Well, we see a few dissidents, as well. Wim Oude Weernink said that the Council consider that GM is superfluous and should be reduced Cadillac, Chevrolet and Opel in the world. That leaves GM with the premium, near the first and most important guidelines in line with other automotive manufacturers, as the success of Ford and Toyota.
Appleton colleague Marcos, on the other hand think it would be stupid to kill Vauxhall.

It is very similar to Saturn / Saturn Opel except formula is not so old, much less.
This writer believes that Saturn survive and thrive, you may be in the form of a rebadged Opel line, but the recent history suggests the opposite. Vauxhall reveals that the success of the formula can be in other markets, and now that the small, lower fuel consumption of cars in Europe's more a place in the states, would be ideal Saturn Opel on the market for goods from the U.S. to customers who feel as before the curve. And the same philosophy could be extended to Ford with mercury, an injection of Blue Oval Euro models.
It is expensive, too close, the dealers and the brand to change, and the costs of marketing a new brand or unknown is much more expensive than the other plates. It is the continuation of Saturn and Vauxhall, but the rationalization of energy and the production of cars can help to create jobs in America and the prices to stabilize if the dollar and euro (or pounds) is in opposite directions. Of course there are some who think that they just die and Saturn, but Alex is always a grumpy after Knight Rider live blog, and we do not know what to do with Paukert at this time. What do you say?
