Default Opel Gran Turismo Coupe (GTC) Concept at Geneva Auto Show

Quite a knockout, like a G35 coupe on 'roids. Autoblog article even makes a reference of hoping it'd be the underpinnings for the next "Saab Sonnet" (it's SONETT people .... SONETT)

I wish GM's designs would stop copying other designs. They came up with headlights so unique...why not a body? Of course originality can only go so far but this is too blatant. STILL...love this car.

The front quarter view looks just like an Infiniti G35 or Nissan Skyline GTR, but the back looks like an Acura (TL, I think?).

I'm not so sure I like those radical headlights. They kind of remind me of a sad clown's eyes.

Is this car a combi coupe (hatchback) or a notchback?

I have no problem with a Sonett being based on this design except they have to make a soft-top convertible version for me!

Cool

Even though the design is taken from other cars, I kinda' like it. I see the resemblance of a G35 for sure, let's hope they move forward on it. I"m anxious to see the rebirth of the Sonnett!
