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.

not even close.

the saturn was the soltice. front ening, RWD.

this was mid engined. IIRC, it pretty much a lotus in disguise and with a GM motor

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.

it has to be. something don’t add up but the tail lights, rear side windows and trunk deck match perfectly.

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.

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.

I think it's a Lambo, Dude.

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.

Seems like you’re right. Never heard of this though!
