Ever notice that the Vauxhall (Another foreign GM company) VX220 is almost a carbon copy of the Opel Speedster? Vauxhall's website looks almost identical to Holden's, as well. They are parts binning the internet!!

what i dont get is people always cry.. "oh why cant we get that here" .. and when we do.. ie the GTO.. and people go "oh its ugly..its slow.. what a POS".. that fuckin bugs me..
the GTO is a great car.. way above anything Ford or GM can put out here. Sure its not a low 13 second car.. mid to high 13's.. but who cares..its a great all around package.

was pretty sure opel was owned by general motors but i wasn't sure.... everytime i have been to europe i have always thought the opels were damn good looking cars. too bad none of the nice designs show up on american soil.

Damn! The Caddy that zigs; more like that the Caddy that gets recalled for zigging when it should have zagged!
Zate, I don't get the comment about the GTO being a heck of a lot nicer than anything Ford or GM is putting out; GM IS putting it out!

GM's modern lineup=Suck and the GTO is going to do much to change that. There will be a bunch of beer gut sporting, middle-aged males lining up to get them though.

Not every performance car can be directed towards 17 year olds.
Everyone's money spends exactly the same...
