or you could turn it around and say they'll gain business because 17 year olds are now able to get the ''vxr look'' with cheap insurance and running costs.

True...I always thought the idea with car manufacturers was not to have any other models look similar to the top spec model. I guess times change

It's not the same though, bumpers, wheels and seats are different.
Being the same colour doesn't mean people are going to be put off buying the better one.
I'm struggling to think of any Vauxhall colour which has been exclusive only to top spec models? Certainly never happened to a Corsa.

Its a nice car like it!
Nice subtle changes like the front splitter and rear diffuser. Shame the exhaust is silly quiet!

The engine has just been revised a little more with better modifed engine management , uprated turbocharger, modified to make the most of 98-octane fuel and the exhaust system adjusted to reduce back pressure... reviewers and testers of the cars at their best say these small adjustments have made a vast improment with a nice addition of the LSD
300miles in and the exhaust is starting to produce a pur, still burning the newness off can smell it when i leave it to spool down but cant see it producing anything amazing a few thousand miles down the line... i will sort that out tho

i have never really been intrested in anything else as much i just enjoy corsa i get asked that a lot, i like the people i meet and things i do owning one ! be it that 17 year old jumping around in his 1.2 LE, or a load of cool english guys for some reason i just like talking and being around these people, every now and then you meet the odd jealous / anti corsa person but the majority really just like looking at good things and talking general car stuff cant help what intrests me just got to go with it

FFS I want one
I think though I would regret it when the Astra J VXR comes out and I'd bought a Corsa.
