fredob43 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Sorry their not to clear but this is a couple of snaps of the new Vauxhall SUV, taken in Pattaya two days ago. It has a glass roof similar to Fords Everest. It's slightly bigger than the Honda Crv but smaller than the Everest/Tuna. Just though some peeps might be interested.

juehoe Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hard to tell what it is. The car in the front seems to be another model than the one in the back. The rear end looks like MG. The front grill of the second car looks similar than on the new MG 6. No idea what the first car could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be correct there TA just new model who knows. For the peeps that said it's not a Vauxhall I can assure you it is. If you look at the first picture you will see two lumps, First one I took the snap of the front/side. Second was of the second lump rear end that had half the covering missing. That one was showing the Vauxhall badge. There were 3 of them driving around Pattaya for days. After several goes managed to get snaps without getting run over. Bloody crazy place Pattaya, glad to be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Anything that gets road-tested in Pattaya and especially manages to traverse the challenging Soi Buakhao/Lengkee/Diana cross-roads with such ease is obviously going to get very, very high marks from the savvy and critical Thai motoring press. GM testing stuff for sure but I don't think there are any plans for Vauxhall-badged GM's in Thailand are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Sure it could be a newer model, but even with the bad photo the line on the vehicle are all different especially the side. Glass roof someone noted, it so then it is the GM, made in China now? Saw something similar at Big C the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headline for your posting, which appeared in the email I, and, apparently, Dotpoom received from Thai Visa, was: "New SUV spotted in Pattaya, what is it?" So, from the headline, it appeared you were asking for help in identifying the SUV. I was ready to take a wild guess that it was a Daihatsu Charade but you took all the fun out of it by already having the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdaz Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Vauxhall badges mean it is GM platform so could alternatively be badged as Chevrolet, Opel or even Holden depending on the market it is offered in. Maybe for the Thai market it's the Craptiva's replacement ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay1980 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Just because it had a Vauxhall badge does not mean it was a Vauxhall, car manufactures do many things to disguise test mules including putting completely unrelated badges on them and the crazy looking paintwork/wrap. The 2 pics are definitely 2 different vehicles, one does have the exact lines of the MG so I would put my money on that. Kudos to the OP for posting the pics, defiantly a more interesting thread than most of them in motoring 555 For the record, Vauxhall/Opel is no longer a GM brand: http://www.businessinsider.com/gm-opel-sale-23-billion-2017-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I read your OP. But, to get to your OP from my email, I have to click on the Forum headline that I get from Thai Visa. Thai Visa sends me news updates and forum postings to my email. If I am interesting in something, I click on it and it sends me to it on TV. What I got in my email was exactly what I wrote, with the question 'what is it?'. I suspect Dotpoom got the same thing in his email. Obviously, two of us thought there was a question being asked in the posting. I don't know who added the question to the topic headline.
