Here are a couple of photos from my hometown my brother sent me. Any ideas on what the cars are, obviously, besides the MX-5?

I think it’s the Vauxhall VX220, or the Opel variant if that's a German plate.

The red one is definitely a Vauxhall VX220, but I don’t know about the black one.

Vauxhall VX220 or whatever the Opel variant is (if there is one).

To the US and Canada I believe this would be the Saturn Skyy.

The red one looks like a Vauxhall VX220, which is based on the Lotus Elise, with the chrome V grill removed:

Not sure what the other one is.

That black one looks like a Prodrive P2, which never entered production...

Actually yes, I realized that after posting, that the red one is probably an Opel Speedster.

You’re right about the Vauxhall VX220 / Opel Speedster being different from the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky, but I wouldn’t say they’re “not even close”. The Sky was sold in Europe as the Opel GT, which was a direct replacement for the Opel Speedster.

Kinja'd!!!

The Speedster, VX220, Solstice, and Sky all use variants of the same Ecotec engine.

You are also correct in that the Speedster & VX220 were based on the Elise and built by Lotus.

Right, I definitely mixed those up. I must have been thinking of the Opel GT/Speedster being the same vehicle when they’re two different configurations.
