Uncool. I just remember this as the car that's always in every Sunday Cup race in every GT game. Well, except GT Sport.

 

[Snikle]

Another car I did not know about prior to its nomination, so thanks Master Weasel. I don't hate it, but it's not the prettiest thing in the world and nothing about its drivetrain gives it any points either. Meh.

 

[MoLiEG]

I've been a fan of this thing since GT2.

Cool.

 

[Neddo]

As nostalgic it is, having a soft spot for rear lights and ice Tigra, still its meh. But it might be cool if more years pass

 

[Volksauto]

These were never sold in the States. That being said, it is also quite a quirky looking car and I like that!

 

[MisterWaffles]

Would probably have landed in meh were it not for Gran Turismo. It's presence there has bumped it to a low cool.

 

[ZGBox]

Very high meh, I usually do not like Opels but the Tigra is a fun little roundabout and also I'm a sucker for small euro coupes.

 

[Dave A]

It's a Vauxhall (in the UK) that hasn't been tuned by Lotus, therefore it cannot be cool.

Coolest thing about it is that it donated its taillights to the Callaway C12 (that was based on the C5).

 

[Centroid]

Some nice styling touches but the it was very mediocre to drive. And then Ford made the Puma and showed how it should be done. Uncool.

 

[MDDeGrande]

Coolest thing about it is that it donated its taillights to the Callaway C7 (that was based on the C5).

That's a C12.

 

[TheCracker]

Literally the only time this has ever happened. Uncool.

[Tornado]

It was definitely styled in the early 90s.

Coolest thing about it is that it donated its taillights to the Callaway C7 (that was based on the C5).

One of the rare times I think that doing that looks dramatically better than it did on the source car.

 

[TenEightyOne]

It is a terrible car. Super uncool.

 

[Jezza819]

Seriously Uncool. Reminds me too much of a Geo Metro.

 

[-Fred-]

That's a C12.

It's not like it's written on the back bumper or anything, in fact looking back I can't even believe I mixed them up.

The Opel Tigra has a very fun design. I think it's very cool! Then there is that Opel Tigra Ice Race Car from Gran Turismo 2. It was nothing groundbreaking or beast about the Tigra, but this Tigra roars quite a bit nicely. So I'm going Cool for this one. Just not a lot to make me change my call to "Sub-Zero." It definitely isn't "Meh" or worse to me.
