I think you will find Skoda sales are on the increase in this market. Doing pretty well considering they have neither a Golf/Astra sized car or a MaZda2/Fiesta sized car here in our market YET. Their owner satisfaction and quality surveys in europe are good. They aren't pushing the "cheap" line here... more the good value for money. Anyone who has actually sat in a new octavia or superb will know their interiors stack up very well.
Styling of all their cars is a bit... hohum
I will be interested to see what specific models Opel brings out. I assume the Astra will be 1.4T (104kw) or diesel only. They really need to find a decent petrol engine for the Corsa... the new barina will have a 1.6L 85Kw engine!
An interesting idea for an Astra SRI would be to drop the 2.4/2.5L Ecotec (130kw, 230Nm) into it (like the Buick Verano). Warm hatch that even p platers can drive
Opel Boss gives further clarification of their Australian goals...

My rides: 2004 Opel/Bertone TS Astra turbo convertible - 2012 Mercedes Benz C204 C Class coupe
Others: 2009 Honda City VTiL sedan - 2015 Fiat 500
It's interesting to note that an Insignia is considered "mid-size", despite the wagon being bigger than a Commodore wagon (yes, it is - it is 1cm longer). Yet the Australian press (and probably the average Australian) will still dismiss it as "too small" compared to their beloved "full-size" Australian standard falcodore without even looking...Opel will launch in Australia in October next year at the Sydney motor show with three models: the Corsa city-car, Astra small hatch and wagon, and the Insignia midsize sedan and wagon.
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE.

It's not f* stupid actually.... Cadillac have dropped this engine from the SRX range after the first year. It's a dud in a heavy car mated to an auto gearbox (think Commodore).Originally Posted by ChrisMaz
that was the LP1, non turbo 2.8 in the CTS. The LP9 however is still in the Cadi BLS right upto the point where the car was no longer made by SAAB but a russian company instead
