Absolutely not a Kappa. The Vauxhall is a mid engined car. As a matter of fact, it looks much like a Lotus!!!

Yeah.. I was having probs finding decent pics on that site... they were too much into the Flash junk in the site that I couldnt find a regular ol' photo from the side,

When I did.. I could see that the driver is positioned differently than kappa...

then I hit wikipedia. Interesting that GM has owned them since 1925. I never knew the Sky was patterned after the Vauxhall

Good eye, built by Lotus for Vauxhall. It is no longer in production.

RIK, do you happen to know why it is no longer in production?
Is there a article we can review?

The improvements are most interesting but I prefer the body style of the SKY.
Thanks.
