Good for you, its the worst car ever! My first car was a Opel Rekord from 1985, and it was just so funny...You could open the door with a pencil

But do you have Vauxhall instead of Opel? Like England? A vauxhall is exactly the same as a Opel....

We don't get Vauxhall or Opel. They're the European brands of GM.

Here we have Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Buick, Pontiac, GMC, Saturn and Cadillac.

The Cadillac Catera is an Opel, but I don't think it's sold anymore. We used to get Opels here, like the GT and Kadett.

The Catera was based on the Opel Vectra, a much larger car.

Although the previous generation Saab 9-3 line used a stretched variant of the Calibra's chassis, if I remember right.

The Vectra is a fwd sedan. We get it here as the Saturn L-Series.

The Catera was indeed the Omega, which is also the Holden Commodore.

:doh: Oh yeah, the Catera was rear drive...I forgot. Dull GM cars tend to do that to me..h:

With the LS1 motor, however, I doubt the Commodore GTS-V would be boring...

On a related note, the Vectra looks so much better than the current L-series... I'd just rebadge the darn thing as a Saturn.... h:
