New Vectra / GM Epsilon II platform testing

Nothing really surprising here: a few cm more in width and in the wheelbase.

What's more interesting is that, according to Lutz, the new platform will come with different suspension modules depending on the brand. The "value" ones (Daewoo, Chevrolet, Saturn) are said to get a torsion beam at the back, while the "premium" ones (Opel, Saab, Cadillac?) would get an independent set-up. I wander if the saving per unit is worth the investment in a completely different design, but I guess it is, given the General decided to go down this route

Then again, they also made a business case for building the Pontiac Aztec and Buick Rendezvous...
