As an Opel GT revival, I was expecting a bigger effort from Opel.

It lacks that sense of occasion somehow.

You can't help thinking, that there is a bit of "cost-cutting feel" in it.

I'm not saying it'll be a bad car, but...is just not really passionate enough as the other Opels.

If they were going to make a "new" Opel GT, why they didn't make something unique to the other GM roadsters?

Why has to be a shameless rebadge?

And why they didn't make it as Coupé instead of a Roadster?

This car is not just Deja-Vu from the American Saturn SKY, but it's not a proper homage to the Opel GT name either. Even though this one has a hefty 2.0 16V Turbo 260 Bhp.

Is just another GM rebadge, that will originate a Vauxhall rebadge. What's so exciting about it?
