What car is this?

This was a prize won on the show bullseye in around 1990/91. Looks like it could be a Rover or Saab or even a Chrysler but not sure if they were common in the UK in the 90s. Couldn't make out the badge.

Well done lads, spot on:

Here's a 4 door maroon colour variant of vauxhall nova. Incredible looking car. Where did it all go wrong!!

Thought it was a Vauxhall Viva, uncle had one years ago and it still sticks in my mind that it might be the biggest ball of shite I've ever seen.

Vauxhall / Opel made some good cars over the years. The vectra B was pretty cool when it came out around 1995 and the insignia was a nice design originally too. Calibra was unreal in its day with the original tigra a nice design for a girlie car for the mid 1990s.

I think the current astra is a very nice car for someone in the market for something like that.

No idea how good or bad they are though.

How the car looks is my number 1 requirement (save for it being an absolute lemon of a car model).

Cant understand those who select what they think is a "reliable" car and it looking like a coffin with wheels. Prius, Chrysler PT, Honda civic of the last 3-10 years. Awful looking things. Can't understand how anyone can walk through a car park passed an array of stunning cars and stop at these eyesores…
