they should follow vw's line with a supercharged AND turbo charged 1.4! | |

i think it would be a good idea to realise the sri with the 1.6T being around 140/150bhp. the mk5 astra sri(170bhp and 200bhp 2.0T) was popular along with the sri diesel | |

well to keep inline with the range at the time, ie the astra gsi turbo etc it would have had to of been a GSi | |

Well wasn't the Corsa VXR ( :lol: ) originally going to be the GSi? :boggle: | |

I mean in terms of it being cheaper and more insurance friendly than the range topper, but being aimed at the same people. If the new quick one is very quick, the warm one should be no slouch either compared to the current range. | |

the SXi hasnt exactly been performance inspired though Ian, originally offered with the 1.2, then the decent 1.3 CDTi. i think an SRi in the Corsa D will be very similar performance-wise to the C SRi because of the extra weight its lugging around, even though it produces 15bhp more... | |

If previous Vauxhall offerings are anything to go by, there will be a visually similar yet smaller engined version somewhere in the offing. They've been doing it for years throughout the range with the SXi model. | |

i often wonder how well a 1.6 C would have sold. | |

yeah its not gonna be a money-maker like the SXi's, Club models etc etc, but i tihnk it would be a nice touch for Vauxhall/Opel to add an SRi model to the lineup using the 140bhp 1.8, perhaps with a similar look to the VXR. Not everyone os going to be able to afford the VXR when it comes out so an SRi would be an intermediate choice for someone who doesnt want a performance diesel either. i think the market is there for it | |

i think the 1.8 is planned, I'm sure I red it in Auto Express a few months back, there's a gap at the top of the range severely lacking a petrol model below the VXR. | |

Yes, I envy the Australian line-up for all cars except the dubious choice of Suzuki/Daewoo parts bin stuff they call Barinas. | |

There are plans for VXR over here, quicker than that. Not sure what you're getting. | |

i do wonder if there are any plans for an SRi model for the Corsa D? I reckon the VVT 1.8 will do quite nicely! 140bhp IIRC? |
