Just got thinking that I would love it if Alfa Romeo came to Canada. My dad used to own several Alfas...including a couple of Spiders. I remember my dad and I ripping down the mountain side in his spider. That car was awesome.
What car brands would you like to see?
A thing of beauty

Chery A5 is a mixture of all global advanced technologies and exploiting resources. The advanced designing concept, stylish profile and luxurious human-oriented configuration set up a new value benchmark for the mid-class car, realizing the style of a B class vehicle by the price of a A class one, building up a platform for dreams…
Personally, I'd love to see some Skoda's here. They are more or less restyled VW's, but would offer a great alternative in that compact class. Plus they clearly love their hockey.

Does that say that its a B class vehicle for the price of an A class one? It reads really strange... But, if that is what it says not a very good marketing point...

Yeah, that's exactly what it says on the website LOL
Wow. Those videos are brutal. I like how people were laughing after the SUV had crashed. Nice death traps.
I've heard that the Astra is a great car, but the N American version has the weakest engine, which is a poor choice IMO
Really doubtful. The Cobalt and the Ion are based off of the Astra and had an available 205HP supercharged version of the Astra's engine (the Astra has a turbo ~200 HP) and the base model Ion/cobalt use the 2.2L Ecotec (145 Hp) where as the Astra gets a 1.8L Ecotec (~140 HP) and also has a 1.6L (~100 HP) and a diesel available.
On average, European economy cars are way less powerful than ours because cars are expensive, and gas even more so.
I'd assume the new top of the line Astra will have the Sky redline motor dropped straight in, but in a FWD configuration and make ~250 HP, as I'm sure they'd de-tune it a bit for their economy car.

According to C&D the only engine will be the 4-banger non-aspirated economy engine...no turbo for you
