Quote:Its 1.6-liter turbo engine with 141 kW/192 hp..... the maximum torque of 230 Nm is delivered to the front wheels by the standard six-speed transmission. In addition, the standard 'overboost' system can temporarily increase torque by around 15 percent to 266 Nm when required
that sounds like it would be a very nice hatch if it came over with that euro spec drivetrain

is Corsa the same as ASTRA???
or Corsa is smaller, I know Saturn is going to have Astra as of 08, but didnt know about Corsa. I dont think they would bring it over.

Quote:Saturn picked a 1.8-liter Ecotec inline-4 out of Opel's portfolio of Astra engines, a 140-horsepower design introduced in 2006 to coincide with the European Astra's first styling face-lift. Peak torque of 129 pound-feet arrives at 3,800 rpm,
maybe one day?
Quote:Perhaps in time the 178-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter will get the green light for the Saturn Astra Red Line, or possibly the gutsy, 237-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter slugger fitted to the Vauxhall VXR and Opel OPC versions of the Astra
