2008 Opel Vectra Spied

Due to be unveiled at the 2008 London Motor Show (July 23 to 3 August, 2008) the new Opel Vectra (which will also base a mid-size Saturn) has been caught on camera by Automotorsport performing test runs on an airfield in Germany. Despite the "military" camouflage it’s quite obvious that Opel designers took a really close look at the Geneva Show GTC Concept while drawing up the Vectra. Undoubtedly, Vectra’s most prominent feature is its sleek, coupe-like roofline. If you’ve seen the GTC’s interior then you won’t be surprised with the Vectra’s cabin as according to Opel’s officials, what you saw in Geneva is roughly what you’ll get in 2008. -Continued after the jump

The new Vectra will based on GM’s all-new mid-size platform which will allow the use of a 4WD system for the very first time in the models history. The same platform will also be used on the next generation Saab 9-3 & 9-5 and Cadillac BLS. The Vectra will be offered with a wide variety of engines including an 180Hp+ 1.6-liter Turbo and 290Hp 2.8-liter V6 Twin-Turbo versions.
