Is Saturn a European model car? Are they better than North American cars?

The AStra is built both in Belgium and soon to be factory in Poland (for the sedan). The Aura, which has a different name in Europe, is built in the USA. The 1st 2 years of the Astra will be imported from Europe. These days the ability to actually tell where a car is built by the marquee is very tricky. For instance, that new Civic can be built in California, Canada, or if it’s the hybrid, in Japan. The days of so-and-so car being an American car versus another being “Japanese” are gone. If you really want to blow your mind, you’ll have to do some homework and you will notice that different factories within the same brand can build different levels of quality based on the work force, where the parts are sourced from. At the present time, the most rock solid combination tends to be a Japane
