Welburn's design responsibilities have spanned the globe. Take the Opel Astra, for instance. It's sold as the Vauxhall Astra in England, the Holden Astra in Australia and the Buick Verano hatchback in China. (An earlier version was also available as the Saturn Astra in the United States.) This latest Astra, with its deeply sculptured look, was voted European Car of the Year at this year's Geneva Motor Show.
