Looks like Honda has some competition when it comes to who can build the most lairy looking hatchback!

Not quite sure what to make of it really! I think I'd draw the line at paying over £30k for a FWD Vauxhall Astra regardless of how good it is :-D

Also, they've ruined the styling of the stock Astra VXR which is probably the best looking car Vauxhall have made in as long as I can remember!

To be fair, Vauxhall know their target market. It's chavs who love a car cover in ripspeed shite worthy of a max power front cover. The recent VXR's have been made to look like a chav wagon and they're very popular with that type of people.

Wheels are nice, like the rear(other than the excessive spoiler), graphics are sh-t, bonnet is complete gash. If they binned the front splitter, the spoiler, the decals and the bonnet I reckon it would look pretty good.

It could almost be decent but they just took it too far, just like the new CTR. :-|

They took the cheap route and didn't alter the wings/side of the car. Loads of stuff front and rear is lost because the sides are so plain.

Have you noticed how wide they are anyway though? I was following a standard Astra on the M62 the other day and it made the Focus next to it look tiny.

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
