Not realy. Its actualy way off.

woah............. The headlights wont fit, but the opel astra IS on the delta platform..........

General Motors' Delta platform provides the basic architecture (suspension and engine mounting points and other technical details) for the Cobalt as well as other GM products world-wide. Buyers in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific look for very different attributes in their cars, and the global platform system allows the automaker to cut costs while designing cars for specific markets. Americans and Canadians prefer conservative styling, a soft ride, and a large engine well suited to an automatic transmission. Europeans would probably dismiss the Cobalt's 145 hp 2.2 liter engine as pure frivolity, and the joys of the smooth-shifting automatic (a GM specialty) would be lost on them. No matter; most New World buyers would find the European-market Opel Astra, also built on the Delta platform, to be odd-looking and cramped, with a bone-jarring ride and a sewing-machine motor under the hood. Some attributes are common to the platform, and the Cobalt inherets the sharp handling and precise steering that are necessary for the Delta platform to work in Europe. Smart suspension tuning gives the Cobalt the smooth and remarkably quiet ride that we prefer.


just a quick google for astra and delta platform........ do a search and you will find about 300 more telling you about cars that share the delta.

 

Wow , thanks for the correction . By hearing descriptions throughout the net , youd be led to believe the Astra did not share Delta . ~or the Delta that Astra uses is different than the US Delta , kinda how the CTS and STS use sigma ...but still have some biggie differences .

Anyways ....I stand corrected

 

its all good..... I was waiting for someone to jump in and maybe fill me in on something I didnt know, hell maybe it does have some biggie differences, I just know I read more than a few times that they were both delta body's like the ion and cobalt......

I do know that the opel GT was supposed to share a rwd platform with the sky and soliste... the kappa or something like that.

 

What made me think it wasnt Delta , was quote mixed in with all the current next gen ION drama , being that Opel wanted no part the of US Delta platform for the Astra , when there was talk of the Astra being built in the USA . Guess I'll have to do some digging . FWIW , Saturns version of the Astra will not be built at Lordstown .

 

I looked thru the list of cars on the Holden site.. Seems most of em get six speeds... Wonder why gm wont make six speeds in the cars over here...

 

because we are hated over here
