Editing General Motors Theta platform (section)

==Development==
The Theta uses a four-wheel [[independent suspension]]. Engine choices include the [[Family II engine|Family II]] [[straight-4]], [[GM Ecotec engine|Ecotec]] [[straight-4]], ''[[GM 60-Degree V6 engine#3400|3400]]'' [[V6]], and even a [[Honda]] V6, the [[GM L66 engine|L66]]. A 5-speed [[automatic transmission|automatic]] and two 5-speed [[manual transmission]]s are used.

The original [[Saturn Vue]] used a short 106.6&nbsp;in (2708&nbsp;mm) wheelbase, with a 61&nbsp;in (1549&nbsp;mm) track. The [[Chevrolet Equinox]] and [[Pontiac Torrent]] use a stretched 112.5&nbsp;in (2857&nbsp;mm) wheelbase, but share much with the Saturn.

The [[Suzuki Grand Vitara]], although similar in size and appearance to a Saturn Vue, was developed by Suzuki using some Theta components, but should not be considered a Theta derivative.

Engineering for the Opel Antara and Chevrolet Captiva was performed in large part in Korea by [[GM Daewoo|GM Daewoo Auto & Technology]], and by Opel in Germany.
