Putney Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Liking all the new Vxr's... especially the little corsa... The Astra will look great and I am sure it will have a power increase too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Agree, good looking cars, I still really like the look of the old astra vxr. Hopefully they've worked out how to make them go round bends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001gti Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 They look fantastic but for some reason i just would not buy one. Id rather have the golf or the focus tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash24 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Agree, good looking cars, I still really like the look of the old astra vxr. Hopefully they've worked out how to make them go round bends.Definitely, the handling needs to be improved but other than that, decent cars, the Nurburgring edition is quality!

Putney Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 obviously the golf would be higher on the list but they are a fair few quid more... out of a megane, Focus or VXR i think the VXR would be on my drive way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarroll Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I saw a nurberg edition astra van the other day, i knew they did that edition of the car but not the van. Saying that it could of been a mod.Either way it was ace.But i agree that id never buy one, only vauxhall id have is a menaro bathurst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Was following a trailer with a fair few of these on the back in Luton one day. The only rear end i saw said "Astra" one side and "Turbo" the other. They look bloody good from the back! Reminded me a little of the Scirocco if i'm honest though.

.Phase Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) I think this is prototype design, but saw this the other daybut surely it will have this type body-kit since it's the new insignia Edited January 8, 2010 by .Phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I imagine it will be similar to the Insignia, we're getting an SRi until the VXR comes out, will report on how that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunid-brake Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 i really like the new ibiza cupra and leon cupra, maybe not as powerful as vxr but id way prefer them to a vaux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshB&D Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 i love the new astras n corsas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomStevo Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 why does every car that comes out seem to be the exact same shape as the new subaru/mazda 3 or watever it is lol they all look sameand tbh the new astra does nothing to me but sayin that vauxhalls generally dont do it for me, appart from a few exceptions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarroll Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 One car id never own is a Corsa, if i was given one...id sell it!! I took a look at the new ibiza cupra in a stealership in Chester the other week and its really cool. Bocanegra Edition looks good too. Although while i was their i was informed of a new diesel ibiza FR, no doubt the mk5 golf gt tdi set up.Lots of nice stuff out at the moment, or on its way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Yep. Personally, I just think they have a non-PC sense of humor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Corsa vxr's are **** in my opinion. My mate had one, remus and mapped and he sold it to buy a 1.9cdti which is far far quicker. The Corsa only gets the 123bhp 1.7 diesel engine, and never in a million years is one of those quicker than a modded VXR that must be putting out 225+ bhp.

nfbr Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I remember when Blueflame made their Prototype Turbo back exhaust system for the Corsa VXR and it was 15bhp lower after fitting than it was before the fitting lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarroll Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Bocanegra in Spanish means BLACK FACE...Hahaha, that is utter genious! So its like when Merc use "Black" (as did Ford on the Focus black but we wont talk about that) except they added a little Non PC humour accidentally, or intentionally????I remember when Blueflame made their Prototype Turbo back exhaust system for the Corsa VXR and it was 15bhp lower after fitting than it was before the fitting lol.Clever guys!

BenLAST Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I drove one of the SRI's last night, CTDI, 1.9?Anyhoo, if it was a 1.9, didn't pull anywhere near what i was expecting! However, the interior, especially the front seats, are rather nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
