Eh ? the design has little or nothing to do with the existing model. New chassis, new engine, completely new body, interior..
I suppose its a continuation in that its a 3 door 2 litre turbo, but thats about it.
Unlike ford who just make a few changes here and there and run the same underpinnings Vauxhall often ditch the entire platform and start again.
I meant in terms of the body shape in response to the people who said why haven't vx done anything radical with the shape of the car. Obviously you are correct in that the platform/tech/interior are totally new.I suppose its a continuation in that its a 3 door 2 litre turbo, but thats about it.

Not my idea of a 'sporty' looking interior, and that steering wheel is awful!
It's a nice enough looking car and I'm sure it goes/handles well enough, but I'm afraid I couldn't spend that sort of money on it.
I'd rather have a Clio 197 and save a lot of money, it's the closest to my idea of a hot hatch money can buy IMO.
