The car is black, the background is black, i can't see the details in this car! The VXR-R performance is realy impressive.

This car handles like an absolute dog in standard 240bhp form, I dread to think how bad it's going to be with 300bhp going through the front wheels!

Ambitious, very ambitious. They must really not like the Ford Focus...Give up Vauxhall!

Meh, the Focus RS will have both of these for breakfast. that 300bhp Astra must handle like a tank on ice....

Stop hating guys, it gives us buyers ANOTHER option than the MazdaSpeed 3 and Focus. Id hope it would come to Canada via our Saturn Astra but thats highly unlikely.

Tuner, the STi starts at 46K over here...great car but not too cheap, this would be cheaper by around 10 k at least, i'ld bet.

These Guys work next door to me. they have a racing team and i think that more than qualifies them to engineer this to handle much better than the mass market version. A very stealthy looking appearance could no doubt embarrass a few people at the lights!
