I did a big turd this morning (had to stand up to finish!) and I will mail a picuture to a Mod so they can swap it for the one in the OP, it will be more attactive.

Just looks like someone's grabbed an old vectra, stuck a big spoiler and bad body kit on it.. do not want.

I like it.

Mainly for the lulz, and because I've been watching a lot of V8 Supercars recently, and there epic win.

But without the Falcon to compete with, it kinda stands out on its own like a sore thumb.

That's somewhat unpleasant.

Do I spy BMW electric window switchgear?

totally wrong it isnt a vauxhall at all

Apart from the wheels and yellow paint (I think itd be nicer in pretty much any other colour)... I quite like it.

£50k is a joke though. Lots of things you'd have to say no to before you got to that on your list.

It's got a 3 series moustache, moustache for the win, NOT!

What does the back end look like? thats all most of you lot will ever see.

monkey_boy · 15 Dec 2010 at 17:14

In a different colour it would look fine IMO :confused:

starfighter · 15 Dec 2010 at 17:24

I love over the top cars, sure it is a bit chavy but think how many BMW 3 series you see every day or Minis and then think how awesome it would be to be sat in that.

Sometimes for me unusualness > taste.

But with cars being so expensive it isn't a pleasure I can afford to endulge.

Lets face it you all want one.

That numberplate was on the VXR8 bathurst on Top gear.

Why do I remember such useless things.

LOLVauxhall

Yes I want one, so that I can spend the money on something else.

The yellow doesn't help it at all. I reckon it'll be quite a mean looking looking car in black.

The problem is however that they will not sell any. At £50k they've killed the car's key selling point, I.E the fact that it effectively costs 50p in comparison to stuff it's performance will have you think it's a rival of.

The problem that it isn't a rival. Not even slightly. It seems to me that Vauxhall have fooled themselves into thinking that this is a creditable alternative to AMG Mercs and M BMWs, which it isn't unless it is an absoultely bleeding fantastic car in ALL areas.

And of course the most pressing question - Does the lifetime warranty apply?
