No doubt the RS will be a huge success due to the following that Ford have but am wondering if it will fall into the hole that lies between the hot hatches (fwd and 17-20k) VXR,ST,R26,GTI,TypeR and cars such as the S3,EVO X, new STI etc which are 4wd and 25k+

Take the green off the seats though - Recaro Sportster CS, far too nice to be in green! smile

yeh the vxr`s make a horrible scraping sound when boosting and yes the astra is a good looker in the sort of way its sort of how a hot hatch should look, but the st looks more aggresive. st interior is much better too (dashboard identical to vectra 1.8 life and plastic peels of the gearknob). nice car though but personally prefer the black ones never been into that baby blue sort of blue, they need a darker shade.

ST more agrresive? Have to agree to disagree on that one...but ST interior better no way?
