The VX220 is called the Opel Speedster. And the turbo edition has nothing on a Lotus Exige anyways...

That new Holden sure looks good for a Vauxhall, and those cars are great fun and even sturdy built! Its not a dramatic leap in modern car design though, I think the car aspires to be a sort of economic Skyline or something.
It also shares a lot of similarities with new Chrysler designs (the new Hemi series, i.e: big block of a car with little shape beyond a brick.) The main difference between this and the Chrysler is evident though; the Chrysler drives like crap compared to the Holden.

I like your brick reference, especially considering the Volvo estate you posted in the other thread :)

And yes the Elise Exige is no doubt a lot better than the VX220, but it does at least par up ok with the normal Elise (it is pretty much the same car)

 Shame on you... 

Yeah I know those two are the same car basically, the chassis of both were made in Norway up until 2006! Hydro Aluminium worked them. I think the Lotus had the idea first though, it (Elise) seems inspired by the venerable Lotus Europa. Then again, the Speedster reminds me of the old Opel GT, and both the above could also be an old Citroen (doubtful though...). Toyota 2000 was also very similar in shape and form, a shape I feel could be fully revived if anyone would dare try it!

PS: My Volvo could outrun that Chrysler 300 despite power difference, at least on my home roads. That Chrysler behaves surprisingly well on a race track though.
