I suppose if I squinted and looked the other way, I could almost tolerate those looks.

But probably not ;D

Looks like an almost indentical replica of the original Manta, apart from the silly lights and wheels.  :-\

It is a Manta, but fitted with an electric motor and modern 'styling'

I rather like it.

But they won't make it, or if they do it'll look b*gger all like the prototype.

a series definately but as mentioned above theres no way the actual released car will have anything that resembles an a series body at all or even that steering wheel.
all the things in those pictures that dont look original will be the only bits that will actually make it to the final design. it would be great if it did look like that obviously ,even with the different interior and drivetrain but cant see it happening.
its a sneak picture to draw attention to the name only !

And if its going to be a Vauxhall, why not make it look like a Firenza / Magnum, rather than an Opel Manta ?   ??? ::)

Yes if you put Opal Manta A into google images, photos of both the original and this one comes up so you can see them side by side.  :y

They need to sort the headlights!  ::)

That new front end is common to a couple of new Vauxhalls, Crossland, Grandland.

I like the look of that. A proper saloon car.

What's the betting that it will have changed shape to that of a dumpy, top heavy SUV by the time it makes it to the market?

That appears to be what all manufacturers are tending towards currently. ::)
