The Mk3 cavalier was the new model as this car was the vectra A it only got taken straight to the british publics harts because they called it a cavalier as for the vectra B a new model plus a new name put most people of in the beggining with some people slating the car with out even driving one I think that the vectra B was an ok drive early seats were a bit hard but all the issue's got sorted on the face lift as it did with the cav mk2 & mk3 but just dont get me started on the vectra C that is just total sh1te
