Well when I bought my new Aero conv and posed the GM Question the response
I got was............
"It is like giving material to a Saville Row tailor and a
tailor for George Asda. Although the material is the same the
outcome is very different"
In addition, I believe GM have also left the Saab guys pretty much alone,
to do there thing - so the calls of "It's a Vectra mate" holds little
truth, but the little truth it does hold I can live with.
Thoughts anyone...........
