In the first Video,you get the impression that they have designed the car from scratch,but here you can read about the car wich is the "mother" of our cars.It was a Team-work between GM North America,Advanced design studio in England and the Opel/Vauxhall Design Center in Russelsheim,Germany based on the platform of the Solstice.read more here:

Here's one of Bob Lutz. He mis-speaks a few times like the spoiler is unique to the Redline, and that folks will need them in Europe driving 155-160 mph .
I have to say watching these videos it's a little depressing to see these folks that put so much work into the platform to have it pulled out from under them. Say what you want about Saturn's early attempts, but the marque had really turned around and was heading places . I wish Saturn and Pontiac had stuck around so we could see some Gen 2 Kappa goodness.
Thanks for posting these videos folks!
Nice way to relive the beginnings of a great platform in it's various incantations!
Informative little tidbits in there.

You got to love that full boxed frame. Granted, that is also one of the main reasons why our cars tip the scale close to 3000 lbs; but I really like the rigidity for both handling and safety.
