Down under the Corsa C is called a Holden Barina......Its interesting to see the difference in spec between the models. For instance the SXi gets the 1.4 engine, and there is some pretty tasty accessories available (if your prepared to pay frieght costs). Type Holden Barina into your search engine and see where it takes you.

plus your import tax, SVLA test, registration, adding about another 1500 on the price minium so you may as well buy a 1.4 Sri as it will be cheaper on the insruance as well as it is not a grey import

Look at the Holden site then tell me why not??? its exactly the same car, only differences are to the trim and spec levels. All Corsas are all made in the same factory in Spain and a lot of accessories sold in this country are made on the continent to suit Opel and Vauxhall variants. Dont forget its only called a "Vauxhall" Corsa here in the UK everywhere else its called a Opel Corsa, even in Ireland. There is gear available in Oz and NZ to fit Corsas/Barinas thats not available here in Europe........tell me why its not the same.
