GT5 Transcripts/Opel Vectra C

*The Opel Vectra was sold as the Vauxhall Vectra in the UK.
After nearly seven years without a single update, an all-new Opel Vectra was introduced in 2002. The new car war armed with Opel's know-how because it represented the start of the company's new direction. This was evident in the car's styling, which was highlighted by a stately overall shape, a handsome grille, and distinctive square headlights. The interior was upgraded to exude a more luxurious air, giving it the premium "E segment" status.
The car was built on General Motors' Epsilon platform, with the German company offering more variation of the Vectra than ever before. The first model to arrive was a basic sedan. Next in line was a sporty 5-door GTS hatchback. Then in 2003, Opel released a 5-door station wagon called the Signum with an extended wheelbase.
There were plenty of engine choices as well, ranging from a 1.8-liter inline-4 to a 3.2-liter V6. The most popular of these was the 2.2-liter inline-4 and the V6 that produced a hearty 208 BHP. Eventually the 2.2-liter received direct-injection and upped the output to 153 BHP, increasing its popularity even more. As for the car's chassis, Opel incorporated IDS (Interactive Driving System) into the car's suspension that dramatically improved ride quality. It also came equipped with ESP, a yaw control system, making it one of the safest cars in its class.
