Filed under: Diesel , MPG , Opel Opel Corsa ecoFlex - click above for high-res image gallery Opel is about to launch a heavily revamped version of the B-segment Corsa, although observers probably won't notice much difference on the outside. That actually isn't such a bad thing, since the Corsa is a pretty handsome little car. Under the skin, the car gets new powertrains and revised suspension setups...

While introducing another vehicle to Buick’s slim lineup will presumably help that division sell more vehicles, manufacturing the Regal won’t create any more American assembly jobs because the Regal will be made in Russelsheim, Germany. Manufacturing the car in Germany means that its price basis is in Euros rather than dollars, and the higher labor cost of manufacturing in Western Europe...

Our good ol' pal "Maximum" Bob Lutz told Car & Driver they're considering an Opel Insignia OPC -like 335 HP version of the Buick Regal that may be called the Regal GS . Oh, and possibly a sporty Buick Regal wagon! This isn't a huge surprise as they already make a wagon version of the Insignia in Europe, though it continues GM's interest in creating wagons. An interest we share. Can we...

What a lot of readers may not know is that in Europe, the Insignia is offered in several different variants, including one that’s available with a...

While we were talking about the Escalade EXT launch with Susan Docherty (don't ask) during the Regal reveal at the Hollywood Palladium last week, Car & Driver's Steve Siler was pushing Maximum Bob about sportier versions of the newest Buick. Now, we heard mumblings about a new Buick Regal GS last month, but that was just dealer hearsay. Siler's report is straight from Lutz's mouth, and while he's...

Oh, to be in the European design studios when someone high up at General Motors slapped his or her forehead and declared, "This would make a great Buick!" Remember, this was back in the days when GM planned to make the Opel Insignia Saturn's second-generation Aura.

The Corsa SUV will employ small petrol and diesel engines including the 1.3-litre and 1.7-litre. Some (including all the diesels) will have turbocharging to optimise performance and fuel efficiency. The range won't be entirely 4x4 however; an entry-level model is thought to only come in 2WD. That said, a hybrid model is rumoured to be under consideration as well. wcf

These are the latest shots of the 2010 Opel Astra taken by regular cameras and not the automaker’s own glitzy press shots. While other cars might not look as great on non-official photos, the 2010 Opel Astra really does look every bit as dashing and attractive as it had been made out to be.
