Vauxhall is rolling ever faster towards a future of exciting and very different products, the standard bearer of which is its brand new GT X Experimental electric concept, in which Autocar has had an exclusive first test drive.
This is no ordinary concept. It clearly shows the fresh face of future Vauxhall and Opel models, created in a new era of quick-acting creativity, kick-started just over a year ago by PSA’s acquisition of the two venerable former General Motors marques.
The GT X features a plethora of new design features that have already been tested in secret on cars of all types and sizes – not just the GT Coupé and GT X Experimental we’ve seen already – to ensure that they can be the basis for the product line-up of a full-line manufacturer.
Small wonder, as our latest meeting with the GT X in a giant aircraft hangar showed, that this multi-million-pound concept is treated by its reverent handlers as if it were made of gossamer and gold. And that it is often accompanied on its travels by the company’s British-born design director, Mark Adams, who explains its significance better than anyone.

Good looker, apart from the odd styling dent in the doors.
I ran an Astra Estate for 119,000 trouble-free miles, so hope new blood at Vauxhall reinvigorates the brand.

Why is it left-hand drive?
Why is it left-hand drive? It's an Opel, isn't it? Let's just have honesty, here. "Russelsheim-based designers". There's NOTHING Vauxhall here, ffs, so why lie?

You want to know why?. The same reasoning that a great number of new cars, their brochures and other promo material, ferature LHD, is that the vast majority of cars sold, are LEFT HAND DRIVE, so the makers are showing the majority buying group (pandering as you might stupidly call it), what exactly they will be getting. You want honesty?.
Why must you use swearing abbreviations?. What on earth is so frustrating you about this topic?. Honestly, these columns would lose nothing by your absence. Now, what have you got to say?.
