New Calibra?

[RazerSauber]

Saw this on a website a while ago and dug around a bit. Seems there are many pictures of many cars supposedly coming under the Calibra's ressurected badge. I hope these aren't true because the Calibra was a special car and these concepts look like the Astra GTC pretty much!

Curses. Regardless, opinions? I'm seriously considering picking one up! The old one of course, not this vapourware one!

Pretty sure it was a fake and just a photoshopped insignia. It was said by vauxhall themselves a few months back theres no plans to make a new calibra

If they brought one out like that, I'd buy it I reckon, especially if they made it 4wd!

If you look at it, the successor to the calibra, was the mk4 Coupe basically. Unfortunately, it never had the styling or handling of the calibra!

Personally if that was to be the new calibra. its horrid, basically its a mk6 astra Gtc coupe.

Old calibra FTW even the new bodykits look the buisness for them.

I do love me them Calibras. It does look a lot like the Insignia, and the original was superceded by the far inferior Mk4 Coupe so it died while it was still good! Not like some car companies who just ruin car names with regular unspectacular pieces of pig iron for the sake of the old memories (Mustang, Charger, Camaro, Corvette).

Prices from £300 up too, if I can bag one for less than the £695 I spent on my Mk3, I'd be well happy!

You can pick a calibra up for 500quid or less in the north east

Always loved calibra's insurance premiums stopped me from buying one its basically a coupe version of a cavalier yet they are alot more to insure.

So its just me that thinks calibras are horrid then?

 

[DavebGsi]

Their only purpose on this planet was to be a donor car for LET and 4x4 conversions

 

[DavebGsi]

Haha totally agree with Andy!

Don't forget XE & V6 donor cars

 

[Andy_Mk3]

The Cougar was supposed be be a Capri for the 21st century, shame it was ****e. Not keen on calibra's either, unless its a yellow one lol
