The Outlook is the only one that isn't also an Opel.
Yeah. I've seen all of them over here in Germany as their opel counterparts. Look identical except the badging.

For those that still think the Astra was an American build, go get a first year Saturn Astra. Still has European Radio, European turn signals and parking indicators.

Well the local Saturn/Saab/Isuzu shop down the street has closed its doors. I guess that the guy who parked out there 5 times a week, with "Saturn won't fix this car" painted on the side in house paint, will have to find somewhere else to spend his nights.
