I have to agree. For an Electric car it looks, and apparently drives very well. Ampera > Prius (So far)

Hmmmm, I'm curious - it looks like a combined Honda Accord Euro (old model) with a Toyota Camry (even older model) car mock up...

Then there's the VE HSV II GTS front end styling on it's face, sorry but it dosn't quite work for me :skep:

And then there's the no brainer tacky name, 'AMP' 'ERA' :RollingEyes:

The new Astra is a much better proposition :)

True, but that just struck me as obvious, the coming age or era of the electric or amp powered car just struck me as tacky in that way...oh well just me seeing things as such at 1st glance, I'll go back to sleep LOL :D

nice...!
You can still see shit all throughout the window still! lol. Is it just me it appears a bit lower, and more longer? Maybe it sits lower I think. I like the lights. and the rear looks nice.
A flattened out H.......


I might buy one of these... :P

U realize mmhale all the stuff on the gtc is stuck on to hide it's true form.. Those taillights are just temp lights. There's stick on panels even.. The real car won't have a "x" on the door

Nah the X will be on the door when its released. Its the new automotive style.

SAABs and Opels share much of the same parts, have done so for a long time :)

Alot of the mechanicals (engines, brakes etc. etc.) are the same...

I know, but seeing from the rear window looks very simular to the H's window. I'm guessing the whole design structure will be the same?
