[Squadrone Rosso]

It's pictured in Autoexpress this week & it's stunning:wow:

Along with the Insignia VXR, Opel / Vauxhall are building some seriously good looking cars at the moment (Evo love their Insignia VXR).

Alfa, you could easily turn the Giulietta into a desirable 3 door / coupe so get on with it

There's no picture on the AE website at the moment but for sure I'll be pawing over the GTC at Geneva (after I've finished swilling champers on the Ferrari, Maserati & Alfa stands that is)

Cheers,

All these hatch/coupes seem to look like far east Brera knock-offs.
A la Megane Coupe....


:lol:


3-Door Coupe based on the Giulietta would make sense.
Cheap to develop too. (Like the GT )

Hmm, looks a bit like a Kia Cee'd... But then everything does these days.

I love "Tazfan2"'s comment on the story. :lol:

looks fat and american.

OK, scrub the concept coloured seats, if Alfa were building something similar we'd all be excited

 

[Dawsub]

No Likey

 

[munky]

because alfa would make it look nice?

Like the MiTo & Guilietta you mean:lol:

We had a number of Vauxhall's and the were great. A brilliant local dealer too.

Our 3 door Astra SRi with the Irmscher Sport Pack (2000 on an X plate) was a cracking car.

Our neighbour's Insignia is also a quality bit of kit. The VRX version is a caged animal:wow:

 

[munky]

the insignia is a very good car, technically.

Its ugly as sin though.

No comment re; the Mito and Giulietta from me :lol:

 

[bazza]

I thought that looked rank. And then I saw the interior, and realised that actually the exterior looks merely ugly relatively speaking.

I think it's alright, it remeinds me of the Seat Leon. I'm hot a big fan of hatchbacks and i hate the insignia so i was expecting worse after reading this thread

What he said, looks a bit SEATish from the side, from the front looks like they are following the scirocco.

P.S. Motor shows are **** and champagne smells and tastes like bottled farts

 

[MrShusky]

Only going to be FWD not 4WD like the Insignia

Waiting to try it out at the VXR Trackday

I had the old Astra VXR which was mad . Very quick in a straight line and a real handful in every other department, but it was loads of fun just a little grey inside . Vauxhalls range of cars are all pretty good looking in my opinion . there isnt a dog amongst the whole range really .

 

[MrShusky]

I concur Vauxhall/Opal = Mundain, But, VXR/OPC = Fun

I had one of the first Corsa VXR's, remapped to 235bhp, 0 to 62 in 6.4 sec, well balanced and ideal for the track, owned it for 3 years, what a joy!

Had a play with the Insignia VXR (Estate version) at Rockingham and fell in love but a lot of money!

Would dearly love a VXR8 Bathurst 6.2Lt V8 - The only 'Vauxhall' JC likes :thumbs: - What a beast (only ever driven them on tracks though, never on the public roads!)

Undesided by the pic's, waiting to try out the New Astra VXR on track before I pass verdict!

 

[alfamito155tb]

not impressive to be honest

 

[Mysterio]

looks fat and american.

Even the normal Astra looks fat from the back. But that one is ghastly
