I think the Calibra had one of the best designs of its era, can you believe this car was launched way back in 1989.

Its clean lines still looked fresh until the car was discontinued in 1998...

It was evetually replaced by the smaller Opel Astra Coupe...

The Astra Coupe had a coefficient of drag of 0.28 Cd.

yep, it looks good for me too.

No problem with that sir AG4, to each their own. In real life, the Calibra I saw was not as cleanly proportioned as in your pix. Think Camry-like slab sides.

Anyway, I don't know for the life of me why I like the looks of the Espero. But the Calibra just doesn't do it for me.

Give me a Galant GTi anyday.

I like the Calibra, parang Subaru SVX...
