So I'm back to give you all some more input....

the Nordschleife (not the GP Track!) is 20.832 km long, that makes 12.9444 miles.

those Caddis are the BLS series, it's a cheaper version of the CTS based on the Opel Vectra.

I kinda hate GM for all the mixed cars they build, like the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky.....in Germany it's called Opel GT!
weird........

And those cart lookin cars can be Catherhams, probably Lotus Super Sevens or just Kit Cars....you'll never know....you'll see them all the time on the Nordschleife, as well as Lotus Elises'....it's nothing special there.

GM loves to rebadge and sell as another car. In fact, within a few years, we'll have almost the same lineup of your Opels in our SATURN fleet...it started with the Aura and our Sky became your Opel GT...

Actually the Ion was originally an Opel platform as well IIRC.

Do Ions and Saturns also have a bad image in the states like Opel has in Germany?
In the 90's when GM took over Opel the cars were pretty lousy!
Material sucked, engines sucked, they use to rust, car's were SLOW except for the GSI models and some few others....but they weren't reliable.

It's going better now for Opel, the quality improved alot, the OPC models are realy tough sport cars....but there's still the bad image.
There's also a natural rivalry between german V-Dub and Opel drivers.....I hate both!

@shinmei2006 could tell storys about the ugly Opel pics I've send him!
