Hey
have had the new Astra for a year now and the thing is great , i hear that GM are going to release this in the US as a Saturn . Hope they sell the turbo version to you . Just had my PCM/ECU remapped and it now puts out 255Hp at 12psi boost plus have just added a carbon intake kit.

full spec

2006 NZ Spec Astra SRI-T
2000 cc Turbo (200hp stock)
18" Penta wheels
Full leather
IDS+ system ( interactive driving system ) hit the sport button on the dash and the shocks harden , throttle responce is better , steering weights up and has less travel lock to lock , and adds 4 psi over boost
Full Tint 30%
OPC high flow down pipe 2.75"


they say a picture tells a thousand words

Yeah that is a pretty sweet looking car. I think they will bring the turbo version, but maybe not the first year.

We are not getting the turbo, we are not getting the 2.4L with 164 lbs of torque and 175hp that we now have in the Saturn ION-3 as an option. We are getting a 1.8L 126lbs of torque and 138hp 2,900 pound slug. I'll bet anyone we do not see engine improvements untill 2010.

2007 ION-3 SEDAN 2.4L



Bothe the Silver and white are lowered with progress springs. Both have had the rear bumper cutout and either a new muffler or chrome tip added. Along with a few other upgrades.
