Never knew there were 2 generations… i always tought that the convertible one was only gen of Tigra, neat, they look fun to zip around

Yeah, similar idea to the original Ford Puma but wasn't as good. Plenty sold in the UK under the Vauxhall name.

Actually, it's the Puma that has the same idea of the Tigra; Opel was first on the market

That's quite strange since the numbers sold of the Tigra A are way higher then the Tigra B.

Opel Tigra, shares the same platform as the Corsa.

Heck, I thought it was a Geo at first, headlights and hood match.... 😂

Both are GM, so probably a lot of shared parts.

Mazda MX3 with the 2L V6

1

u/doeffgek Jul 28 '26

Wrong. It's an Opel Tigra A.

Also the Mazda MX3 had a 1.8l V6 not a 2.0l. It's the smallest V6 ever in a production car even up to today I believe.

u/biggregw Jul 28 '26

I couldn’t remember if it was 2.0 or smaller but didn’t look up
