AutoExpress Vectra? Or Torana TT36 concept?

[V-Car]

I noticed that on the front cover of the latest Auto Express mag, they have a pic of what they say is the next Vauxhall Vectra.
But if im not very mistaken, they have just taken a pic of the Torana concept, and photoshopped it!

Looks that way, though Vauxhall will probably soil it with front wheel drive. Perhaps we can recommend an LS2 option?

not surprising really though. This sorta thing happens all thime. Both are GM companies, and both develop cars for Right Hand Drive markets. Only natural that there is a game of "Swapsies" going on. OPC gave the Aus the VXR/OPC Astra, Zaffy and (eventually) the Corsa/Berino thing will go down-under too. We got the Monaro
this car will look good no matter who's name is on the bonnet. At least its not a Ford Mundano..

It would appear that they've updated & re-rendered their 3D Model to produce this new image. There's too many changes with too much precision to be done in Photoshop IMHO.

They still haven't got rid of the (D?) pillar in the rear window. Surely it's going to reduce rear visability.

I personally prefer the Torano's more agressive styling.

Have the French had their mits on this? 'L4 VXL = La Vauxhall'???

It started out as the exact same photo. Check out the shadows and reflections, also the inside roof through the windscreen.
Its just like the con that Motor mag here in Australia tried when they published photos of what they said was the next VE Commodore, when they had only photoshopped pics of a new model Saturn Aura in the US that is based on a Vectra.

Real Saturn Aura.


Motor's VE.

Just about every "exclusive" in AE is photoshopped! Poor magazine.
