Default Opel Gran Turismo Coupe Concept @ Geneva

We can only hope this Opel coupe comes to the US as the Saturn Whoop-***, SAAB Sonnet, heck, we'd even let them call it the Allante II. For now, it's known as the Opel Gran Turismo Coupe concept. Whatever it gets called is fine with us. It's sure handsome, and if scuttlebutt is true, it can back up the fast profile with real performance. The coupe is rumored to have a 300 hp turbocharged V6 lurking under the cleanly-drawn sheetmetal. That motive force is distributed to all four wheels, and the underpinnings are donated from the next-generation Vectra. Of course the concept is equipped like the full-boat, optioned up model would be (and then some); so it has all the goodies like a hard-disk based infotainment system, parking assistance, and undoubtedly more. We'll get to see this car up close and personal at the Geneva show, which is so close now that we're like 8 year olds on Christmas Eve. For now, we'll have to be satisfied to gaze longingly at these leaked photos that turned up on Spanish website km77.

Its pretty cool looking. Not bad. But I think this basic coupe design has been done to death already.

Very Nissan-esque details.

Very G/Zish. Not a bad looking car, shape-wise, the front and rear end could use some refinement though.

We may get this in Mexico since we do get a lot of the Opel products, but they usually badge them as Chevrolets.

The wheels look like giant wheel locks.
