Just had an email from Vauxhall asking me "what's my style"? This was to promote the new Corsa "Street Style". Are they trying to be ironic or are they refering to Sesame Street? I can count at least a thousand cars that are more stylish "ah-ah-ah" (sorry). The Clio "Desire" is another one. About as desirable as a visit to the gum clinic. Why can't they just say "we can't shift these cars because they're crap" instead of painting them silly colours and giving them extra badges?

Here's a thought. Instead of polishing a turd why not make a decent car in the first place? rolleyes

You tend to not bother watching the news these days then?
