New 2007 Opel Corsa

[Intrepidation]

The fact that the center stack and the center console don't line up bugs me. The exterior looks alright, but looks too rounded...like it had Korean influence.

[Flybrian]

Yes, the stack has been Camried, and that is unacceptable.

Yep...that's what it reminds me of...previous gen Camry...bleh

[Northstar]

It doesn't look as good as with camo on ironically, but it would still make a good entry-level Saturn below the Astra.

[Bimmer325]

With a slightly revised interior, I could see this taking a healthy bite out of North American Fit/Versa/Yaris sales.

The exterior looks great for a subcompact. I'm all for this coming here as an entry-level Saturn subcompact.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

GM, ship this sonnabitch over here and kick some Yaris ass!

[Sixty8panther]

Makes the Aveo look like a pile of $#it.

We need this in the USA and NOW give it to Pontiac and

call it the Firefly. The Aveo looks dated & cheap next to the Yaris.

the yellow illumination onthe centerstack looks really bad to me....?

I love that amber yellow color. I love the Camaro's

interior and I love this.

I don't like it, but it's "quirky"... and the people who buy Fit's and Yaris' seem to appreciate quirky things...

The car itself looks kinda Korean, but don't all the cars in this class? With an interior like that, the car could grab a few customers from Toyota. Plus, the fact that it could possibly be a Saturn means that it'll be sold in Saturn's "No Pressure" atmosphere, which only helps to attract new car buyers.

[Northstar]

The black and silver ones look better, and the interior looks a lot better (from what I can tell) in black w/silver stack.

[Intrepidation]

I will admit this is far better than any other subcompact we have in the states...so bring it over GM

the interior is fine the way it is!

yes, this should be a new saturn

[thegriffon]

? The official unveiling isn't for another two months. Someone has gotten too excited and ignored the embargo again.

[Dsuupr]

I think it would make a perfect small Saturn.

This car outclasses any subcompact, GM has no reason for not bringing it to the US! It has navigation! Something the Aura, Impala, G6 and Malibu don't even offer! And the 1.6 Turbo 180hp version comes with a 6-Speed Manual.

Yes, while the center console irks me, and the rear looks kinda Korean, it's is a nice looking car, and by far the best looking of any subcompact.

Remember the Chevy Sprint Turbo? A Czech friend of ours had one

it was bright red and his parking spot in the garage at our condominium

was right across from our 1989 Cavalier RS sedan. That little 3-cylinder

wonder was the focus of many of my childhood jokes. Waht was esp.

funny abotu it was that they traded a 1976 Lincoln in for it.

How do you go from a four door 19' long tank with a 460 V8

to a 7' long 2 door sub-sub-compat with a 1.0 liter 3-cylinder.

Hmm... looks even hotter in black in those real world pic. Me gusto mucho.

[ocnblu]

Compliment: I would take this over a Yaris any day. GM needs this car stateside... NOW.

You don't have to. You could keep the tank and get the Corsa so you can afford keeping the tank!

Times are changing, fuel is getting more expensive and as much as I like to keep my Classic Caprice forever, I know I can't.

Having a subcompact would help me hold on to the Caprice much longer, all of my life I've been in RWD, BOF, V8 American Sedans and I'm not a fan of subcompacts.

GM has no execuse not to bring it! Everyone or almost everyone wants it or believe that it would be a market success in the US.

I hope GM reads this forums, or we need to come up with a way to let them know. And I don't mean we as GM fans on C&G, but I mean GM fans all around the web and on all the different forums.

^ E-mail Lutz about it. And keep e-mailing him until he gets the hint and shows us a concept in "Saturn form." :AH-HA_wink:

And there is market this could kick ass in; the target is planted on the Yaris' ugly face.

[pow]

Looks great for a Corsa!

[red]

That's a great looking subcompact. Kinda looks like the previous Peugeot hatch, which is definitely a good thing. Nice interior as well.

This puts the Aveo to shame. Why not import this baby?

[MyerShift]

GM honey, bring this to the U.S. quicklike!

Why waste time for a concept? Just bring it straight to the show rooms with a price tag on it!

I'm not much of a fan of subcompacts either, or hatches to that matter, and I really like the 3 door. If the price is right, I'd say this could be a good hit for Saturn.

Chevrolet Aveo Z02....has a nice ring to it (Z02 was the codename for the Turbo package for the 1987-88 Sprint and Spectrum, did you know?) Chevy could also import a diesel version, naming it Z90, which was the old Chevette Diesel-equipped codename. Personally I think Corsa is ugly like many Euro vehicles these days, suffering from TTS, or Too Tall Syndrome. The only vehicle I know of that has done right with tall vehicle styling both in photos and in person is the Ford Focus (Dodge Caliber and Honda Fit failed on the pictures part, but looked okay in person, ditto Toyota Yaris, though that looked bland in person).

[tommo]

Stupid holden, they ditched the corsa for the daewoo kalos and look at what we're missing out on now!

[turbo200]

it looks great for a subcompact, and would steal sales from fit/yaris/versa based on its good looks. the other subcompacts from across the pond look ugly, this could be the fashionable economy car of the latter part of this decade, bring it GM.
