Hi,

why do you think it is a bad copy? design or mechanical point of view?
Just for info...

Personally, I am driving it and must say the handling is really good. I agree, nothing to do with a 111r or an Exige, but the 2.2L 147cv is not bad in such a light car.

From the interior, nothing to compare since it is exactly the same...

Concerning the design, I agree it is different and that one may like it or not.


cheers

This car is so uncool. It must be brilliant to drive, but styling wise and badge wise. To me it's the Lotus Elise made uncool.

Uncool. It looks like a toy and you certainly won't look too graceful when getting in/out of it. It's quite tricky infact, it's a very low car.

Cool.

It's the more complete car than the Elise. Just as fast, but actually driveable for more than an hour without getting exhausted to death. Good image car too for Opel.
