The Pontiac/Saturn models in the US might look ok in a photo but they're monstrosities on the road. Only when compared to some of our supersized SUV's, like the Ford Expedition or Caddy Blingmobile, do either of the two seaters look "sporty." They're too high off the ground, they're fat and wide and make our wedges look taut and compact in comparison.

They'd make an awful rebirth of the Triumph nameplate.

This was in the paper (Toronto Star) today:

Wish they would have used a TR7/8 as the photo model,being the last of the series,but hey,if it gets people talking...
One of the funnier questions it asks is "does anyone under 40 even remember Triumph?"

Why yes,as a matter of fact![;)]

The Opel GT version doesn't look that awful.
