As far as I'm aware, it's not a rebadged opel, it's a rebadged Kappa concept car, same as the new Pontiac Solstice and the concept only Chevy Nomad (I think it was called nomad, could be wrong). I still want to see curb weight list for one of them before I start comparing them to Miata's, especially since the Miata now has a turbo in it's Mazdaspeed form. It may only be making 178Hp in stock trim, but since it's already turbo'd, adding more power is relatively easy.

I'm still waiting for someone to make an inexpensive two-seater that's a hard top. Mazda may bring over their Miata coupe from Japan, but they haven't yet.The re-released Toyota MR-2 was a soft top, and now so are the new Pontiac/Saturn kappa's. I don't want a convertible on my 'performance' car, I want a hard top, and everyone has failed me thus far. (considering only new cars, not the older MR2's that got dropped in 1995)
