If I recall we have the MV6 which is like the Elite...
The Saturn L Series is on a Vectra (stoneage_caddy's comment) but has a
different interior and body. Our new Pontiac GTO is the Opel/Vauxhall/Holden
Monaro and VXR. It shares a heavily modified platform, rooting from what the
Omega/Catera's used.
In the US, we also have new cars based on shared platforms globally:
Epsilon Platform: Saab 93 Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, new Vauxhall/Opel
Vectra, and Saturn Aura. Not to mention, the extended Malibu Maxx +
Vaux/Opel Signum as well.
Kappa Platform: Comming out soon for US: Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky.
The Vauxhall VX220 and Opel Speedster run these platforms.
And this is just what GM's done; Ford imported Mondeos as the Ford Contour
Mercury Mystique, and later the Mercury Cougar - in 2 door form. The Ford
Focus- which is more like a global car, which we still have. The Escort,
which wasnt the same as the one in Europe. And a long time ago we had the
Merkur XR4ti.
