Note that the GM "Kappa" platform is sold in Europe as the Opel GT (or is 
to be sold soon) but taking pix of those cars and "doctoring" them should 
be dead nuts simple.

Of course GM is not BMW, so the pictures are probably not a good 
benchmark.

I find the presence of persistent rumor of the rebirth of Triumph to be 
just fascinating. Imagine using a brand that's been dead for 25 years and 
generating "buzz" - that's a marketer's dream!

Oh well.
