Can't believe how fast that limited edition is going to be, but I just don't think it's worth 35k. Then again I always like the Volvo t5r. Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that more HP etc doesn't always mean more fun, but the reps will love these cars!

 

"The changes also mean that its 0-60mph time has been reduced by 0.4sec to 6.1sec (6.3sec for the estate)."

The stuff dreams are made off....

 

but what about the limited editions 0 to 60?, its even faster.

 

Which reminds me...Must have a reason why Honda limits its FWD cars to around 200 bhp, maybe they know something other manufacturers choose to ignore.

 

The monaro is not FWD though and thats the only

 

Ah! I didn't know that about the FWD, apologies

 

S'ok

Mind you a few years ago they would have said the same about a 275hp Vectra but thats just the norm now isnt it...

 

They tested the Vectra on Top Gear and it had lethal understeer. Totally pointless unless all you do is drive in a straight line on the motorway (like sales reps do - funny that).

 

The Monaro is cracking value for money, but it's just not my kind of car. I think my dad would lust after one, but no thanks.

The vectra is a f**king joke, but would undoubtedly murder an S2000 and probably my car too on the motorway. Such is life...

 

The Vectra's a painfully bad car for drivers anyway.

Always has been.

Unless you're a rubber fetishist - that's what all the controls are made of.
