For its first two generations, the nameplate was applied to right-hand drive versions of the Opel Kadett for use in the UK. Since 1991, Opel has used the Astra nameplate on its B/C-platform. General Motors' Saturn division in the United States also offered a Belgian-built[1] version of the Astra as a captive import from late 2007 until Saturn was discontinued following GM's 2010 bankruptcy.
