I saw a late model Opel wagon in traffic yesterday. Are these available in the US?

Sure it wasn't a Saturn that someone got cute and put Opel badges on?

That occurred to me. If so, they did a good job - I saw both the front and back and it looked legit.

I've also seen a Holden Monaro around here.
But you do have a good point... who would care enough about a Saturn wagon to do that?

One of the inmates, I mean members of this board.

Anything funny about the plates like a diplomat?
My sister-in-law and here husband are stationed in Norway. He is a Air Force man working with NATO. They took over their Suburban and Ford Flex. Both must be an odd site. -

That's exactly the kind of thing I'd do. Just sayin'.
I'd still kinda like to get a clean Lexus SC300 and get some Toyota Soarer badges for it.

I'd do it, just to get reactions like this. The Holden/GTO thing is nothing new, apparently the aussies wanted the US front clip, and the GTO guys wanted the Holden clip, so they'd swap. I'd like to see a Vauxhall one once, for shenanigans sake.

This. I've seen a late model Seat Leon in Northern Virginia a few times.
