| has gloss | eng: Theta is General Motors compact and mid-size crossover SUV automobile platform. The architecture debuted in 2002 with the Saturn Vue (Theta, compact crossover SUV) and was later used for the Chevrolet Equinox (Extended Theta, mid-size crossover SUV). The platform was developed by GM in North America, based on the GM Epsilon platform, the same platform that makes the Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, Saturn L-Series (Later Saturn Aura), and Opel Vectra. The Saturn was engineered in Michigan and the Equinox/Torrent were engineered by GMs Canadian Regional Engineering Center (CREC) in Oshawa, Ontario. Neither Suzuki nor GM's Shanghai, China operation, Pan-Asia Technical Automotive Center has had involvement in engineering or developing the Theta platform. |
