`  : It's common for Vauxhall models and Opel models to be named like General Motors Astra. This may be a special case because it seems to have been a Vauxhall (Vauxhall VX220) first and an Opel (Opel Speedster) second, which is unusual and presumably because of the Lotus connection. Strictly, though, they should probably both be sub-sections of the Lotus Elise page! –   |  `
