What do you think about my new car... the Speedster...?
 
I placed the order last year and they told my I will get the Speedster during October (this year)... The Speedster is a german car and you can't buy it in the US... It's exclusive, good quality and not too expensive (32,000 Euro = 28,000 US$)...

What do you think about it? Is it cool or do you hate it... (or the germans)...

Be careful in that little thing. It looks like its super fast!

mGreg 06-14-2002 05:09 AM

looks very nice :thumbsup

They are available here in the Uk, but are not selling well at all. In fact Vauxhall (UK name for Opel) are very disappointed with sales, and its mainly due to the fact you can buy a Lotus Elise for the same money and it runs rings round the Speedster (here known as the VX220

Still a damned fine car though!

UK version

Looking good! Wish I were younger.

That car is fucken badass! :thumbsup

One problem would be servicing/parts.. If it breaks down, you'll be stuck til the parts make it over here..

The Speedster/VX220 is built buy Lotus themselves! When it was first released, the motoring press went mad about it, saying it was better than the Lotus Elise, and Vauxhall expected lots of sales because of this.

Then a few months later Lotus launched, with no advance press info or releases, the new version of the Elise. The motoring press went mad again, saying that the new Elise was even better than the Speedster/VX220, and orders for the Speedster/VX220 dried up.

Vauxhall was not pleased :1orglaugh

That is a Lotus Elise through and through. I should know, I had one :thumbsup

Bet they can't match the performance of that road-legal go-kart.

chodadog 06-14-2002 06:05 AM

Yes, stick with a Lotus. Sure, opel can put out some sporting stuff, and they have got some race bred stuff, but nothing like Lotus have..

a1ka1ine 06-14-2002 06:12 AM

anyone want my old vauxhall cavalier?

only 130k miles ;-) bargain!

Blackrose 06-14-2002 07:37 AM

Nice fucking headlights !!! :thumbsup

ServerGenius 06-14-2002 07:53 AM

It looks a bit nice.....maybe.....at least on the pics.. When you
see the thing in real live you start gigling...it´s NOT a car......
and it´s certainly not fast.

But for hairdressers that like to go roalerskating and pick up
young guys from the streets I´m sure you´ll make a smashing
impression :Graucho

DynaMite :thumbsup

Naughty 06-14-2002 07:57 AM

because we think they're fucking ugly... don't we? :(

opel kind of takes the biscuit when it comes to producing butt ugly cars. unfortunately the entire thing, close up, looks like it is made from lego blocks. it is more suited to being a snow plow than a sports car.

but... uh, each to their own. :)

It's not as good as Mercedes or BMW, but I have only good experience with cars made by Opel...

A few years ago I was driving a Jaguar XJS and everybody told me it's a bad car, bad quality and so on.... but I can't remember any serious problem with that car.... I don't drive like an old grandfather and did Munich to Duesseldorf (600 Km) in 3 hours (traffic jam, rain, one stop for fuel and open roof included)... Later the car was sold to somebody who is still driving it...

marty 06-14-2002 05:32 PM
