I've been reading recently that GM Europe's Opel Astra is coming to the states soon, released as a Saturn. One of the things that caught my eye was that in Europe they have a diesel option. I was wondering if anyone heard any news about the diesel option being available through Saturn. I could be wrong, but wouldn't that be one of the first small cars in the states with a diesel engine? My fears about buying a VW stem from the fact that if they break down, they are expensive to fix. I like the idea of the Astra because it would be a GM car that we could run on bio. Does anyone have any experience with these models or know if they are any good?
