I'll give you a teaser

any ideas?

Shaz]sigh[ · 8 Sep 2007 at 19:41

VXR8 surely

Will Gill · 8 Sep 2007 at 19:44

meh you guys are too good

beast of a car, not as prolific as the scoob but certainly a decent laugh!

apparently only a few in the UK? doesnt make me want one that much, nicked the bosses 360 and have been blagging test drives - got this for the whole weekend ;-)

Shaz]sigh[ · 8 Sep 2007 at 19:47

Only know cause I went on a VXR track day so know what they all look like

Was good fun but they didn't let us gun in so I don't have any form of opinion on them as I never really got a feel for it

Good marketing ploy by Vauxhall that though, went from anti VXR to quietly impressed by the Corsa/Astra.

that is flippin sexual.. really. Do they sound as good as i hope they do?

wonder how much they will have depreciated in 3 yrs......

ive seen of a few of those vauxhalls on the road (not sure on the models etc) but i think its pretty cool that a nice looking/sounding and supposedly enthusiast orientated car can have such a mundane brand. top score to vauxhall IMO... almost like what rover did when they shoved a V8 in their 75

spaz · 8 Sep 2007 at 20:28

I see these about quite a lot, I suppose one of the only perks of living near Luton

Apart from the rear which is a bit meh I think they look very good, can't argue with the V8 either

that looks absolutely repulsive. the old monaro looks 1000x better

Perywinkle · 8 Sep 2007 at 20:29

There was a couple of them at the brighton speed trials today, certainly made the right noises

Giddy · 8 Sep 2007 at 20:38

Why would you want to drive a that when you've got a 360 to play with?

Good question, requires answering.

'I could spend all weekend in this Ferrari 360. No wait, lets see what the local Vauxhall dealer has'

The rear looks awful with those lights, but the rest is ok, still preferred the look of the monaro but then it's what's under the bonnet that counts

Maybe he has a fettish for test drives?

Scottland · 8 Sep 2007 at 20:46

Travelling backwards through a hedge in a dealers Vaux has to be better than doing it in the bosses 360, right?

Giddy · 8 Sep 2007 at 20:46

Will, you've lost the plot. I think might pop down the Renault dealer in the morning and try out the new Twingo.

Fireskull · 8 Sep 2007 at 22:11

Hehe had one of these thing he could have a go against the gixxer this evening

only reason i hanged around for a second was to see what it was

looked smart and sounded ok but more noise than go

blueboy2001 · 8 Sep 2007 at 22:50

Drove a couple of these on a VXR trackday. The only things that Vauxhall have anything to do with are the badges - it's a Holden really. Makes a nice noise and the sheer torque of thing was impressive but wasn't that great to drive on the track - felt a bit heavy and slow witted in the corners.

Or he didn't want to rag the arse off his bosses 360, and realised that turning up to pretty much any dealership in a 'rarri would guarantee him a test drive in anything.

he gets the 360 (and other nice cars) to play with often, so utilises the cars in a different way, other than just driving them around ? :]

Giddy · 9 Sep 2007 at 10:18

Well I'd take the 360 down to my local Lambo dealership, not the Vauxhall dealer
