I watched Furious 7 at the weekend, thought this was a one-off made for the film, but no...

Unfortunately, this would likely be far faster round a circuit - but hell, shout out for trying!

I saw a ... Pontiac Solstice in Winchester yesterday!

I couldn't figure out what it was from a distance, I had to read the badge!

didn't see the front....

Isn't that the thing which is essentially a rebodied VX220?

No, that was the front engined Opel GT, that we didn't get here as a Vauxhall for some reason even though it was first shown as a Vauxhall VX Lightning concept car.

No, though a similar almost spaceframe based concept I think.

Rebodied Opel GT, as above.

Also badged as a Saturn Sky.

I happily stand corrected.

I reckon that's just an Ultima with different bodywork. Pretty sure in fact- from Gottfried Grasser:

Are you perhaps thinking of the Chrysler electric car based on the Lotus Europa?

[Looket]

Volkswagen Teramont.

[kambites]

It's MQB based, so definitely VAG. Sold as the Atlas in some markets I think.

Canadian spec 2018 Nissan Micra https://youtu.be/2K1EIrJOXMo


$9998 Canadian (£5926 on the current conversion in Google, not sure if that includes Canadian taxes though). K13 so the previous model to the new for 2016 European/UK car. Keep fit windows, manual everything, steel wheels with wheeltrims, no central locking or remote key, no air con (in Canada!)....

...and 102bhp. I think only the top model K13 here got triple digit bhp.

Also, on the Wikipedia page, the K13 was sold in India as a Renault Pulse.

Or Daewoo G2X

Although the Solstice came first. Then the Sky, GT and G2X

To be fair that can't weigh that much, so 102bhp is probably reasonably fast. I am surprised they have manual windows, I didn't think they were even made any more. I could just about cope with that, but no central locking sounds a complete pita. I would suspect that the car might not be all that secure.
