No shared components, no shared platform. IMHO, the only commonality there is the fact both are wagons.That looks more like the suzuki reno wagon than it does like the vibe.

Thought it resembled a Mazda 3 wagon more than a Vibe.

The Astra wagon shown is our Malibu Maxx (man did they mess it up to make it a Chevy!). The Astra Platform (in some form) is the plaform for the Malibu, and the Cobalt as well.

They're all over the place. IMHO, I just don't see the resemblance, which is a good thing

come on psycho! no resemblance? four door hatchback aside, the lines look similar...then again, i think the vibe, mazda 3 (o5) look similar too
