Spot the difference: New Opel/Vauxhall Agila & Suzuki Splash
Opel & Suzuki continue their co-op in the micro-van class. They recently presented computer-pics of the new Suzuki Splash and Opel Agila, who are succeeding the Suzi Wagon R+ and, ehm, the Opel Agila.
both are nearly exact the same car, just with other faces, to match the rest of their families and basing on the handy & sporty Suzuki Swift. together with the much more attractive & dynamic not so boxy design, that should give them very good package. also the interior will look much better than the plastic mountain in the old generation.
personaly the front of the Opel kinda remains me a bit of the new VW design and the c-pillar of the nissan note, but hey, VWs get sold thousandfold, no matter how ugly they are and the note isn't an ugly car, is it?
some facts:
- length: 3.75 metres
- max. boot size: 1100 litres & many small cases for your stuff
- 2 petrol engines (65hp & 86hp) & 1 diesel (75hp), could be more (panda 100hp...)
- 4 airbags standard in both, could be more as well, couldn't it?
- ESP & particulate filter will be standard in the Suzuki, Opel/Vauxhall wants some extra money for it 
- official presentation at the franfurt auto show (IAA) in september '07
- sale starts in spring of 2008
