Opel GT
Okay, it's basically a Saturn Sky based
on GMs kappa platform.
A 2.0l turbo open top roadster with 260 BHP.
The Sky is around $25K in the US the GT is >30K Euros.
I still quite like it though.
The new Opel GT.

Re: Opel GT
It's kinda (in a tiny little way) Tigra (new shape) looking IMO.

Re: Opel GT
... and funnily enough the Saturn is outselling
the Pontiac in the States, so most people
would agree.

Re: Opel GT
Saturn looks nice enough, not keen on the Pontiac. Is it a front-engined RWD layout or just another hatchback that looks like a sports car?

Re: Opel GT
I guess we are all just a little too conservative?

Re: Opel GT
They do. (Well, they're selling them anyway.)
You mean "Why don't they make/sell RHD cars like this in Europe?

True, would be nice to have them in RHD. I think the UK should switch to LHD, not much point keeping it the other way around IMO. The rest of the world has spoken, and it least it would make our car's cheaper.
