I really like it, looks fast even in the pics

[Pistol Pete]

Hmmmm, not bad. Will be interesting to see if it makes it past the concept stages though.

[Emmy]

Very nice :thumb:

[L14MNP]

Reminds me of a 350z a bit. Tenner says it aint called a Calibra lol

[John]

Meh, jumping on the scirroco bandwagen?

[SRimon]

Would need to be RWD

Sounds about right to me :roll:

New fleet of donor cars for the astra h once they reach 20 years old!! :)

[dannyb]

I think it has shades of mk1 Audi TT, no doubt it'll be front wheel drive and will probably get 4WD later on so no RWD :(

With the emphasis on efficiency, petrol models will get three versions of the 1.6-litre turbo from the Corsa VXR (http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/209398/sleek_calibra_lives_again.html#), with a choice of 148bhp, 178bhp or 189bhp.
Can much be done with these 1.6 turbo lumps to up the output beyond 189bhp?

Look at the date of the article, July 07!!!

[Plug]

good spot novasport lol

[BIGS]

yea i like keeping with the times on info lol

[draper]

that will never get made

[Sloth]

i agree, they have the astra cc thing and the tigra, its only space is as a 350z competitor, and the mazda rx8. and they have that bit of the market sown up.

[dj_wudgey]

i dont think its nice at all personally glad it wont be getting made lol

[CoolTiger]

its prob like the capri that didnt happen

[Jack]

That was posted when it came out (i.e. July 2007).

I think it looks horrendously ugly. Like an Astra crashed into a Monaro.

Anyway, THIS is the all new calibra:

[draper]

thats the old one RJ

[Jack]

Nah this one has the updated "modern" chunky styling

[wilson_sri]

Considering its came from auto express, i have my doubts the concept is even real.

[kc_08]

yeah i was gonna say the rear lights remind me of a 350z and thn from the back view it just reminds me of the newer hyuandi coupe how how ever you spell it :( needs big spec to show any potiential

[Bubba]

i prefer the old 1. i hated them with a passion but my gf has a rather pokey tubby...so id prefer the old 1.

[J4MES]

Looks like a Nissan 350Z mated with the front end of an astra, like it!!

[Jack]

Thinking of this, I saw a new Insignia today.

Congratulations Vauxhall on making one of the worst looking cars to date. :cuckoo:

I'll second that, it truely looks disgusting!!

[Pistol Pete]

I think the new Insignia looks ok. Cant wait to see the "hot" version in the flesh!!

[Jack]

the "hot" version
It comes pre-stolen? :eek: lol

[Pistol Pete]

/\ lol

[EUROTURBO]

i think it looks alot nissan GTR styled...

[ste porter]

i love the floor plan drive type and technology behind the insignia but hate the way it looks if it was styled more on these images of a surposed new calibra rather than on an avensis i would like it.

i feel vauxhall are starting to follow suit with all there rivals and as a result im worried about what the future has in store for them

[nova_saloon]

looks alright wanna see the specs tho

[peester]

as usual, looks the biz. All vaux do lately. But i also am fed up hearing them get 'out handled' by fords.
This thing needs to handle, be raved about for once. RWD? 4x4? Active Diff lark..? - Plus we can strip 'em of it all in years to come lol
