Brazilian Chevrolet Vectra Gets New Version

And they will keep having bad results, the elite was already underpowered with 150cv, since you cold get a fusion or a jetta with this price and with the same or some times even more equipment. After the release of the vectra GTX which they are calling " a sport hatchback" with this crappy, old, drunker 2.0 engine I told myself: "well, I guess It can't get worse for GM" and It just did. GM is just plain dead in Brazil.Theres no more room for they old and crappy engines, outdated equipments with even worse interior quality. I just wish them good luck, 'cause they will need It.

Wow why so expensive?

an Astra Saloon might be interesting in europe too, but to less whould buy it. To bad, I really like it. Some modern engines whould be better. Downsizing-machines for example. And: why they call an Astra Vectra?!?

After having an Astra sedan for a few years deceided to trade it in on a new Jetta,as it had a far superior interior,with lots of safety and luxury equipment. I think it is classier than the Vectra,and am happy I switched over to VW.

The Chevrolet Vectra seems more crappy to me,compared with the likes of Toyota Corollas,Honda Civics,and Renault Meganes all manufactured in Brazil! The Brazil GM's main interest seems to be little more than saving costs, so the task of making its products exciting is largely ignored,to my opinion. In Brazil,the Chevrolet Vectra falls behind the Corollas and Civics in mechanical refinement and reliability area. So,to conquer the reign of Toyotas and Hondas in Brazilian D-segment(premium midsize),Brazil GM has to make direct-injection gasoline turbo engine version of its Vectras into production. All Brazil GM has to do is attracting wealthy buyer in Brazil with exciting products,I think.

Still now,I am very attracted at the Chevrolet Opala 250S,the Brazilian BMW 528i alternative made from 1975 to late 1980s. It had 250cu.in.(4093cc)6-cylinder engine yielding 174bhp and reached 130mph(210km/h),so it was the fastest production car made in Brazil in those days. Albeit its handling and stability were far behind of these of BMW and Mercedes,it attracted quite a few wealthy buyers in Brazil as worthy Brazilian alternative for German super saloons,under ban on importation this era. I miss such challenging spirit of Brazil GM in old days!
