"Still at least the idea of a 21st-century Manta could be something to get excited about "

Maybe, I just hope they don't do to the Manta what vw did to the scirocco, now that is one god awful looking car.

I'll believe it when I see it. ;) They'll make it girly-wheel-drive without a shadow of a doubt, for a start.

this is not likely to mean the return of the Omega, but a luxury SUV 'crossover'...

A what? :-\ Sounds horrible to me. ::)

"Girly wheel drive" you are probably correct on that one Kevin. I suppose the Calibra could/should have been the next Manta but that has been discussed at great lenghts on another forum. And later the Astra Coupe could have been another Manta, shame about "girly wheel drive" though. I will have to remember that one  :y
