Absolutely. Back when GM had balls, before losing them and as of recently, slowly growing them back. (I have a recent Automobile mag that had them invited to the Nurburgring to test the latest regular non-turbo Buick Regal.)

No kidding? Is it a GM in the same way that the Merkur is a Ford? (Is it an Opel, Vauxhal or Holden?)

I forget what magazine that was but yeah I read that too! I definitely see why they kept buick and ditched pontiac (well, mainly for china, but the new direction it's going is definitely a better one)

Yeah, I was thinking like Holden... so I'm betting around Holden HG Monaro Coupe or HT Monaro GTS 350 coupe

Is it an Opel Manta?

ichitaka05 · 07-10-2010, 03:44 PM

Oh yeah, forgot that there was such a car. lol Vauxhall isn't sold in US (excepted GTO), so don't have much knowledge on that. They had under 2 liter engine wasn't it? If this thing had v6 or i4 turbo, it would of been sweet car

I'm not even sure if I'm right. I searched through tons of Vauxhall pics, then remembered that he is from Germany so I switched to searching Opel pics, and this was the closest looking car to his post.

Only wishes US sales Vauxhaul, Halden, Opel and other Euro car here... or at least sale more JDM cars!

Ichi, you're Japanese, ne? And your ride has a Utah plate on it. So WTF are you doing in Utah? Vancouver has plenty of JDM cars here. Skylines, Beats, a few of that weird gull-wing Toyota, bizarre diesel mini (micro?) vans, Nissan Figaros, Land Cruiser Prados, the list goes on. Just nothing new...

Good Q... I'm still figuring that out.
