Respect for combining V-block, manual, RWD these days.
Put those into an Autotrader search and you don't get much back.

Good shout - lovely motor these.

looks good to me - wonder what 2nd hand values will be like given the UK's love of high capacity engines.

Isn't that manual or V but not both?

Looks like a Japanese Commodore. I'd love an import of either.

yes; the C-pillar in particular is very General Motors

as an aside:

-- it's entirely possible that, in our lifetimes, this sort of very low-volume creation could be offered -- on a regular and ongoing basis -- more or less globally

-- if the large OEMs don't do it first, somebody along the lines of Local Motors (company here) will

UK got auto RWD. Other markets got AWD. But AFAIK it's always 8 speed auto.

Interior is pretty agricultural. Probably a fun car though.
