New shape Corsa 1.2 SXi.



Just don't. Nice interior, but otherwise, just don't.


Honestly ?.................................

:-)

Thirst of the rangie getting to you then? :-)

cheers, clive

Yeah, but it doesn't appear to have stopped me quite possibly buying a

4.6 one...

Nah, apparently the Corsa is a re-bodied Punto.

Prompted by a post in "another place" I looked up the "new" Vauxhall Insignia. They've dropped the Vectra name and are pussyfooting around why they dropped the name. They can't bring themselves to say "because the Vectra is crap." So we now have the *new* !!Improved!! Insignia.

It looks like GM really want to roll out utter crap if the photos are anything to go by.

I just wish that erindoors would let me sell her business. Someone is selling an XJ220 with 7000 miles on the clock.

Insignia's got everything, shampoo to shower gel...

... 'cause it's new Insignia, and it's all over now.

let you know when one lands at work, seen one on a transported with an opel badge a few months back but i didn't take enough notice to see what it was at the time.

I suspect I'll be getting one as a hire car anytime soon since Avis always have brand new GM products.

I'd rather have the Zonda, because I love them, but if I could afford the Zonda I suspect I'd be in fantasy garage money anyway, so I'd have both :-) XJ220 is coooool. Watchin Martin Brundles Supercars the other day, he recounts the story of when he was hired by Jag to drive the XJ to 220mph, and got to 217 or something - but they reckon if you take the banking of the circuit into account they were doing 224mph or something. Anyway, it sounded awesome, they took the cats out and stuff for the high speed run hehe! And he said when he looked the car over afterwards the bonnet had started to bend upwards and was moments from just flying up into the windscreen!

For many people, the nice interior and monkey adverts is enough.

Good range of engines too - just need a better home...

Yeah, but not 'maybe' ;-)

Jesus, that's just dislodged a memory not used in 20 years or so...

You're old :)

Thank you. In the future they will be called "minitunes"...

for those who are /not/ following this
