Bet it doesnt handle too well either....read the road test for the new Corsa D and its already being slated for feeling unsettled and nervy on the limit 
Why cant Vauxhall make a car that handles well out of the box

Yes, exactly, prototype, not concept which is slightly worrying as it looks a little odd.
I read that the VXR will be unique as it has been designed especially for the British market (i.e. styling). However I will believe that when I see it.
designed especially for the british chavs you mean

Can a chav afford around £16k for the ultimate chav experience? Having said that, theres a few 182 Cups going around with the stripes and Clio written on the side!

Its amazing how much they steal from car modifyers. I think one of the main things manufacturers have stolen of the modders are number plates in the bumpers and shaded and clear lights.

The bumpers in the pic will be foam and fibreglass replicas. Can see the rivets in them holding them onto the car.

Why cant Vauxhall make a car that handles well out of the box
and which road test is that then? because i have read a few and they seem to praise the handling of the standard model. its hardly a Vauxhall, its all GM Gamma underneath the shell.

The Tigra handles fine doesn't it? That's the Gamma platform.

GM are an american company that originated from detroit, amercians arent renowned for building the most adept handling models in the world.
They should given it to the french to design the chassis, and possibly the engine, and built the shells and everything else themselves
