Martin Keene Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 It just needs the badges change to Opel Speedster. How come we got fobbed off with Vauxhall VX220 when everyone else gets the Speedster... Quote

Couldn't agree more Martin. I've always said all it needed was a badge change and it would have sold like hot cakes. Why oh why GM don't use the Opel brand for their sporting cars in the UK, I cannot understand..... Quote
Fat Albert Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Why oh why GM don't use the Opel brand for their sporting cars in the UK Sadly because the bean counters want to sell more Corsets and Arsetras in the UK, they don't care about the VX220 Quote

Never subscribed to that theory myself.....can't see anyone being influenced to buy either of the models you mention, through seeing a vauxhall badge on a VX220 or Monaro..... High performance versions of the same model, yes....... Surely if they had enough demand for the high performance models, that they didn't have to discount them, and they still appeared in the same showroom, wouldn't that be better??? But I'm sure the bean counters know best..... Quote
