Its a cheap lotus elise literally,same chassis same speed same factory. GREAT.
Ive never quite understood vauxhall and opel its english, is it?
Why have to different brands. All the concepts and prototypes come out as opels. Any thoughts?
I dont know! It makes no sense.

They tried to market the Opel brand and it flopped in the UK.
So they now accept that they'll retain the Vauxhall brand for the UK.
I thought the VX220 prototype was in Vauxhall front end before the Opel.
BTW, I prefer the Vauxhall's VX220 front end over the Opel.
The V makes the car look nice and mean :)

It's a shame that I remember the Vauxhall Cresta - the car that was delivered with rust !!
I didnt notice that it hadnt got the V, i makes it look......rubbish at the front.

I (as I'm sure many of you did) saw JC test it on Top Gear, he loved the car and I was amazed on how effortlessly he tossed the car around the track. I like the looks of the Elise a little better though :)
