No one pays list price for them though so that makes it all ok.

Pics of silver?

Silver was more suited to the angles on the H, can't see it looking good on the curves of this one.

I'll take that bet all day long.

Everyone rants on about how good the Clio is compared to the Corsa VXR but I'm still not convinced unless you are drivin the Clio at 100% let in that test Tiff done the advantages aren't there to been seen.

also, thought it was going to have 300bhp? 280ps is about 275bhp. wonder how much it weighs?

At least they've added brakes and a diff, also isnt the new astra independant rear suspension? If so this car will be a huge amount better than the H.

what they should do is design the astra hatch, then a coupe version, then VXR the coupe.

In that case imho, this will be a better performing car than the Meganne.

Having owned an astra coupe and a vectra b, Similar size and weight etc but the vectra having independant rear susp. The difference in handling was immense.

I gather the engine in this is different from the Z20LET-LER-LEH?

Good video on youtube of a JCW mini chasing an E46 M3 around the nurburgring, keeps up all the way
