After every reply i will be posting up some of the shows best and werid cars with pictures, and info on them thanx to Top Gear for giving me this info.
The first one is info on is:
Daewoo Lacetti
(The secound bit of the car sounds a bit of GTA VC style)
Info on Car:
Lotus Esprit! Alfa Romeo Brera! Daewoo Lacetti! Yep, Daewoo is back, and boasting its own Guigaro-designed masterpiece to stand alongside the greats of the past. Well perhaps. The Lacetti's squat profile may preclude such comparisons, but GM Daewoo won't care as long as its new compact five-door hatchback can steal a few sales from better-known rivals.
Launching into one of the toughest sectors in the marketplace, Daewoo will face the latest efforts of Vauxhall and VW when the wraps come off its Astra / Golf-challenger at Frankfurt. The Lacetti should have value-for-money on its side though, plus a versatile range of engines.
Under the bonnet there's a choice of 1.4, 1.6 or 1.8-litre engines, offering average performance for the class. Acceleration from 0-60mph takes between 11.6 and 9.5 seconds, depending on engine choice, and top whack varies between 106mph and 120mph. A four-speed automatic alternative to the standard five-speed manual gearbox is available with the two larger engines.
Although built in South Korea, the Lacetti's steering and suspension tuning were developed through testing at the MIRA test site near Nuneaton in the UK. Roadholding and handling should therefore be well-adjusted to European roads and tastes. Lacetti passengers are also well protected by front and side airbags, whilst all five occupants are harnessed by three-point seat-belts.
