My local Vaux has one in the showroom
Red GTC Turbo
My word its nice, and the interior is lovely, very different to the H and much improved style wise, bloody hell the seats were comfy, and they have some nice lighting effects inside, i want one.
Only problem , the price, they start from £18k

i supose the price isnt bad if you have that to splash, bare in mind thats a basic one, i thnk a 1.6 turbo with styling pack comes in at £24k
The lighting effect inside were great though, where the gearstick surround is, there was a red glow beaming out around it, very flash, the handbrake is also now done on a button, between the handbrake button and gearstick instead of just having a tray it has a tray with a retractable sliding cover, some very nice touches on it i must say.
Some cars just seem to be getting more and more expensive, even the what used to be the cheaper manufacturers, seems as though everyone is now going the luxury way
Those corsas are just overpriced IMO

My car was £18k when new. So that's not bad considering that was 9 years ago.

only thing i worry about is that it looks to have been designed around those massive wheels, so when you get a production version with 17's/18's, they're going to look tiny in those arches.

i think that tends to be the case with alot of cars, the fiesta mk7 is another IMO, looks great as a zetec s, but standard with standard wheels, it just looks all out of size

Interior is the same as the 5 door that's been out for ages.
I repeat this daily it seems, nobody pays book for a vauxhall.

Wheels look too big in that pic anyway. 18's would be just right imo.

That looks bad I think, already has the look of Idiotically. I find the newer vauxhalls don't age well at all, isn't really any character in their designs, is almost like they are trying too hard and still not really making their designs unique enough or special, all look so heavy and fat.
