The Saturn Astra played a starring role on the big screen this weekend in Transformers 2. According to Edmunds.com, "a modified Saturn Astra hatch provides the getaway for Fox and LaBeouf when an alien is on their tail." We've previously seen clips of a silver Astra on the set of the movie at Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, and in this movie trailer. Now, there's a fourth clip on YouTube that features the Astra. Have you seen the movie? Post your review, along with how you think the Astra played its part.

If you haven't already seen the latest trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, you can watch it below. But pay close attention. In addition to the fleet of GM-inspired AutoBots vehicles featured in the movie, there's also a silver 5-door Saturn Astra that plays an unknown role in the film.

Admittedly, I wasn't a big fan of the Transformers afternoon cartoon series or the popular action figures as a kid. In the 1980s I was more interested watching KITT pull high-tech stunts on NBC's Knight Rider.  That's all changing now with the making of Michael Bay's sequel to the 2007 blockbuster "Transformers" movie. Why? It looks like the Saturn Astra will have a starring role in the film.

A couple of "spy" photos taken recently during the filming of 'Transformers 2' in Philadelphia indicate that Saturn's Astra will be featured in the movie alongside other GM vehicle superstars like the upcoming Chevrolet Camaro, Hummer HX, and Saab Aero-X. The Transformers Live fan site says that two photos of a "silver Saturn with bullet holes" surfaced online earlier this week. The pictures seem to show the Astra as part of an elaborate "chase scene" that's set in the city.
