When I posted about the Vauxhall Senator a few weeks ago, @dentaku was asking if Vauxhall sold their own version of the original Opel Monza. The answer is yes, and here it is, the Vauxhall Royale Coupé (the first-generation Senator saloon was also badged Vauxhall Royale in the UK), seen here at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon last year.

I miss big coupes...

@alessandro @davidwilkins @dentaku I miss coupés, full stop. (I know Mercedes, BMW and Porsche still make them, and there are a few others, but a guy like me who bought mass-market brand coupés has fewer and fewer choices. No idea what will replace my Mégane III coupé when the day comes as there is not much in its class any more.)

I feel your pain - that sounds like me, but for wagons 🥲 Crossovers have ruined everything.

@alessandro @davidwilkins @dentaku I so agree. Give me a wagon any day over a crossover. I want the lower centre of gravity and better handling. I guess I could still privately import a Mégane IV but the choices are so limited.
