I saw a late model Opel wagon in traffic yesterday. Are these available in the US?

Sure it wasn't a Saturn that someone got cute and put Opel badges on?

That occurred to me. If so, they did a good job - I saw both the front and back and it looked legit.

I've also seen a Holden Monaro around here.

But you do have a good point... who would care enough about a Saturn wagon to do that?

Anything funny about the plates like a diplomat?
My sister-in-law and here husband are stationed in Norway. He is a Air Force man working with NATO. They took over their Suburban and Ford Flex. Both must be an odd site.

That's exactly the kind of thing I'd do. Just sayin'.

I'd still kinda like to get a clean Lexus SC300 and get some Toyota Soarer badges for it.

I'd do it, just to get reactions like this. The Holden/GTO thing is nothing new, apparently the aussies wanted the US front clip, and the GTO guys wanted the Holden clip, so they'd swap. I'd like to see a Vauxhall one once, for shenanigans sake.

This. I've seen a late model Seat Leon in Northern Virginia a few times.
