I didn't mean it directly at you to be fair. Just was making the comment because most people wouldn't be aware that this is the Saturn Sky or the Pontiac Solstice.

You're thinking about that cars succesor, the new Opel GT which being based on GMs Kappa platform was indeed . The car on the pic however is an Opel Speedster aka Vauxhall VX220 which is basically a Lotus Elise and that doesnt make it crap, that makes it awesome. Have actually driven the turbo version of it and it was the only Opel ever to actualy make me feel excited about driving it.
Even the great Vauxhall hater Clarkson agrees on this one.

Oops you're right. My bad. The VX220 is awesome too.

went for a ride on the bmw crotch rocket with my dad tonight. what a great bike. i mean he drove it perfectly and it's very clean looking and handles well. i didn't drive it though so i don't know exactly how great it is:p
i love bikes but it's still so stressful to ride them as a passenger. i pretty much only trust patrick and my dad and my best friend and that's it lol

As Biznology mentioned, it won't happen. GM is trying to create that police car out of the Holden, but it that purpose built machine already has 10k pre-orders.

No you don't understand, I'm not kidding. The inside word here is that certain states have already placed orders for Holdens to use as police cars and not Holdens converted to Pontiacs but actual Holdens. Produced here and shipped over there.
There really is no more perfect police car than the Holden Commodore to be honest. It's fast, extremely durable, easy to fix and relatively cheap.

First off, it isn't the Holden Commodore. Second, it isn't going to happen since it won't be ready till 2011. Third, that Carbon Motors E7 (the one Biznology posted) is going into production one year after the Caprice is in production. One year is short for a purpose-built machine.
