Whilst I agree with you. Handling is not measured in lap times.

Looks lovely. I'd have one, have we confirmed if it has millions of buttons yet.?

Usual silly cost comments. Megane is £27k, focus will be similar. It's how much cars cost.

Vauxhall seem obsessed with bhp figures, rather then making it handle better.

Yeah looks like it'll handle badly from that picture.

Wait till I see one for real. That blue does it no favours though.

I would like to know Steves thoughts on how supportive the seats are

vauxhall seems the one one whos intent on naming their special edition cars after the worlds most famous race track.

Nah think Arden blue is considerably lighter with more of a metallic edge. Nice colour though, although as has been said it doesn't work for an unveil.

not keen, wheels look gash, rear looks ok, not sure on the obsession with vauxhall with making the bonnet line higher then the window line, makes it look terribly bloated from the front.

just my opinion

I think it looks good and I'm sure it'll drive well, despite what people who've never been near one or people trying to make interesting television will tell you.
