Didn't realise Saturn were sourcing products from Opel...

The Aura is a Vectra...

the Aura isn't a vectra, but it is similar

However that Opel GT and the Saturn are the same car

The Aura probably shares the Vectra Platform. They look the same from the side. Also with GM's financial state it would make sense to use the Vectra platform instead of developing a new one.

except the Opel Gt is really a Pontiac Solstice in drag... :) so, Saturn aren't really sourcing cars from Opel

The Chevrolet Cobalt is based on the chassis of the just superceded Astra.
