Yer that exactly what i mean. Flex in the trailing arms themselfs (rather than the beam) which inturn causes camber and toe (mostly toe) changes?

Looks alright.

I dont like the Astra J. The front looks horrible and the car is too rounded and plain and boring and it looks like a Megane which looks shit too.

It needs some angles and some aggression.

The seats look awesome tho.

Give me a breakdown of the comments, let me guess?

Torque steer?

Just remind them that the current Astra VXR done an 8.35 lap in damp conditions on road tyres.

Dougie just confirmed the colours

Arden blue
Power red
Blazing Yellow
Black
White

NO SILVERS?

And yellow? Jesus wept.

Out of that would have to be power red for me then.

Arden blue would look ridiculous on that IMO

James Swift As long as it's in a straight line! Show it a bend and it'll revert to type....namely it will handle like a turd down a sewer pipe.

What a complete load of absolute bullshit, the Astra H VXR handles lovely you just need to know that it will grip grip and grip these people are utterly clueless taken in by Clarkson.

Not know for making great handling cars

Has he driven the current crop of VXRs? Insigina awesome, Corsa VXR Nurburgring class leader, Astra H VXR masses of grip.

I own a Clio 197 supposed to be the be all and end all and I'm sorry the Corsa VXR is easily better all rounder, you have to push the 197 to the absolute limit to extract that extra it has over the Corsa and FFS you can't do that around your local ring road.

Yes mate, Clio 197 and I still think Corsa VXR is better.

Although I reckon a Mini JCW with decent brakes and seats is better but they are just too expensive for what they are and they don't have any boot what so ever so thats their downfall.
