I feel that the term "great car" is too vauge.

What is the benchmark "great car" that we are comparing everything to?

Given this is a Corsa site called "CorsaSport", I would assume the top of the range Corsa Sport model - the X16XE-quipped 1.6 Corsa Sport.

Remember this is the car that comes with an SXi bodykit and SXi alloy wheels.

it WAS in production at one point, so it is STILL the fastest saloon in the world, meaning its faster to 100mph than almost anything else on the road and will push on to 177mph. No other production saloon car has acheived this, so GTF

no, it was modified by lotus, as are most modern vauxhalls in someway, be it engine design or suspension geometry. It still bears the griffin emblem so its a vauxhall. It had a twin turbo 3.6 litre lotus derived engine, but thats about it really. Chassis was modified, not changed.
