So basically just some blue interior bits and a different grille
Like the new front end though.

This loon has clearly never driven one
"So it undercuts the Mini.
Is it as well built?
Will it hold its value as well?
Does it look as good?
Does it drive as well?
And as for those blue air intake surrounds?
No its just coarser!
Its time this car drew its pension and retired. "

Because of the addition of some blue bits?!
Although facelifted front does look good.

Hate how car companies paint a few bits a diff colour and then give it a name, make a few 100 then slap on a £20k price tag. So theres been the nurburgring astra, artic corsa and astra, vx racing astra and corsa and now this
Whats ford had, the fiesta st500, focus rs500 too?
Oh and also they try to milk all they can out of a certain brand to sell some more. See some more corsas on forecourts once peoe start trading them in for the newest and better model

It has extra kit worth £445 and is £800 more than the standard car? That's not very special.

I know everyone does it, bigger manufacturers seem to make their special editions more special imo. Such as audi and bmw
Doesnt quite work with vauxhall and them painting vents on their vxr's or giving them some chequers, white paint, diff wheels and an exhaust.
Astra artics are on the forecourt for £19k still at a local dealer
Thats just my opinion on vauxhalls marketing and it doesnt work for me at all

£19,425 - £800 more than the standard VXR. Vauxhall claims that the extra kit would cost an extra £445 if you specced it on the ordinary car
