VXR diesel will be in the vectra D. there is only one VXR petrol at the moment but as GM test and develop the twin turbo 1.9 CDTi engine it will be seen in VXR label. the 2.8 V6 turbo can be bought in a non VXR vectra

Flame red is where it's at  (Do VX still call it flame red on the VXR's?)

Is that a dpop at my engine bay? My hoses are purley functional, they reduced water temp from 90+ degrees to around 80, what I wanted them for. Its just a bonus they look good... So im happy with the choice.
Those seats in that picture are poop. No lumber support at all really. Again, another reason we went for the VXR. Seats etc are so much better. (or are you talking about the VXR seats?). The lumber is so nice, they remind me of my "Armchair" seats in D4MO B.

VXR is a little too chavvy looking IMO. Chap i know at a vauxhall dealer said he had one for a week, and got lots of attention, but from the wrong kind of people i.e chavs and people who wanna race you). Would personally preffer an SRi with the standard 18's and a few other tweeks, then get the mods done to that.
As for them holding their value, have you seen the price of them on auto trader?

Still a hell of a drop in 7 months though, but pretty average for a vauxhall. Was just amused at the fact he thought they''d hold their value.
