The Opel CorsaVan to premiere at the Paris Auto Show:

do we know anything about this? Looks like they just removed the rear seats and put in a fence/barrier. *shrug* Looks sharp, as the new Corsa generally does...

[HarleyEarl]

good eye.......and the rear side 'window' is blacked out.

I agree, the Corsas are good looking cars.

The small van for people who don't want to be seen driving one.

Could this be the new Saturn?

I thought it was already stated in a previous thread that the new Corsa wouldn't meet US safety standards, and thus couldn't be Saturn-ized?

That's odd-the Corsavan and Astravan usually have solid metal panels in place of the rear quarter windows-you know, like in the 1971-75 Chevy Vega Panel Delieveries (and other sedan/panel deliveries of yore). Looks better than the regular Corsas however.

I doubt we'll see this on our shores. Saftey standards probably aren't the real reason though. Chevy dealers have probably shown their anger with letting Saturn have a vehicle that is almost a direct competitor with the Aveo and happens to be much more attractive.
