OOOOH OOOOHHH OHHHH!!

woah, why cant we have this?!! GTE RID OF THE DAEWOO NOW!!!



btw, click on the thumbnails to enlarge!!!

[PaulyJ]

ooooh thats nice!
I seriously think Holden should re-consider the Corsa, as recent reports on the safety of the Daewoo one are bad, and is ruining the image on both the Barina & Holden side of things.

[MatsHolden]

Gee it's nice. Would have bought one had they still been out here, have to get an Astra now. Yeh Pauly it would be good if they reconsidered, but it would only happen if sales of the Daewoo sourced Barina drop drematically. It will be interesting to see if the poor safety rating affects sales.

[btm]

there is no way that they would go back now...

[EL BURITO]

that is so sexy. i want one. :(

bring it over and sell it as a Corsa at the price bracket it was orginally intended.

1.6L vxr corsa turbo dam that would be fun

unless some changes are made at Holden witch i seriosly dout i am going to be getting an Astra

[MatsHolden]

there is no way that they would go back now...

Not within the next 5 years or so, but in the future it is possible if the Daewoo sourced product doesn't sell sufficient units.

[CJB]

thats hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[nosman]

Hmmm do i see a 6 speed !!!!! manual transmission :eek:

[Vectracious]

Opel absolutely loves their yellow interior illumination....

[MatsHolden]

Opel absolutely loves their yellow interior illumination....

Don't they just. Don't mind it though, kind of easy on the eyes.

[Vectracious]

Don't they just. Don't mind it though, kind of easy on the eyes.

Yeah, I had changed the Vectra over to blue dash lights for a while and changed it back to yellow just before I sold it - I think I preferred the yellow backlighting - it was a lot more clear than the blue. Plus I remember reading somewhere that red/yellow backlighting is best for night driving because it doesnt affect your night vision as much.

[cyclonic]

OH MY GOD....

I so want one!!!! I'd happily trade my XC now.

Hell, rip out the Tooling in the GMDAT factory and make the new Corsa there if its cheaper to do so (and the quality can stay the same).

HOLDEN - GET THIS CAR HERE NOW!

[EL BURITO]

wats the life expectancy of a single model. the C lasted 6 years b 7 years. when was the Kalos come on the market? how long dose it have left to run before its replaced?

Intreasting fort

[CJB]

*grabs red pen*

[gemstar_007]

Lmfao..isf.... :d

[CJB]

dont they have the new hatch to be released here in a few years?

isnt that what blackie said... so count on it for a while dude.

[JasonGilholme]

They should bring it in as a HSV Corsa that way people will have somethin other to choose from then the astra.

[Red AH SRI T]

the TK Barina shouldn't be in showrooms any longer than 2 years i'm guessing.

I read somewhere that Opel well help design the next model

[MatsHolden]

Nah mate, they won't bring it out as an HSV if it isn't a mainstream Holden sold car, too expensive.

[oneightoo]

a 2 litre turbocharged HSV barina would be boombastic!!

CORSA VXR!!!!!!

*SCREAMS*

[rjastra]

VXR will most likely use the 1.6L turbo engine.

[MatsHolden]

Now this is just torture!!!!:(

[cyclonic]

*CRYING*:mad:

[CJB]

*packs up and moves to england*

[RapidSRi]

A Kalos will never excite like the real corsa, can;t imagin a hot Kalos

[Petey]

U'd think that Holden would get on bended knee & beg Opel / GM to build that car as is in Korea, if it means making it cheaper for them to import here & make more money per car...

I don't think the quality of build would be as much of an issue, rather the poor design, ride & handling the Koreans provide on "their" cars...

Heck, send kits to korea & get 'em to glue them together if it's cheaper..... The cost's & exchange rates really are the only reason Holden stopped importing Opel sourced Corsa's....They make more money per car now, sell more & couldn't give a toss to the previous customers they've cultivated over the years. "It's business, nothing personal" someone once said in a movie.....

[Vampire]

Cute looking car... considering the daewoo barinas are selling well for Holden, i dont see them reverting back to the Opel ones anytime soon.. shame

[cyclonic]

They're only selling well because of:

*Price
*Barina's previous reputation (say goodbye to that!!)
*Equipment level

[MatsHolden]

They're only selling well because of:

That is correct, and also the fact that most people who by them don't know who make them. They just think Holden make them and because it's the new Holden Barina then it must be better than the previous Holden Barina. Not realising that in fact the XC Barina and TK Barina are entirely different cars.

[Red AH SRI T]

it was once found in a survey that over 50% of customers thought the previous Barina was built in Australia

Shows how much people in this segment really know!

[R3N]

Well the public should be educated!

Basically they think they're buying a Holden whether its actually an Opel or a Nissan or an Isuzu or a Daewoo, if its sold under the Holden badge, the ignorant will think its made by Holden.

My point exactly.

[MatsHolden]

Love it. The more of it I see, the more I like it.

[Petey]

Is it me, or do you think Holden just made a HUGE mistake timing wise in not getting this car to Oz? To me it looks SO much nicer than the new Astra, it ain't funny. It leaves the current Daewoo "Barina" for dead... Now all we can do is dream & say "what if?"

Whats the old saying, short term gain, long term pain! This will apply for Holden with this vehicle. BAD DECISION GM HOLDEN, it will come to haunt you....

It won't come to haunt them, as GMDAT will be responsible for development and building of the next Corsa, which will mean that Holden may have the Corsa back in Aus, post 2010. I think the Corsa D and Astra H aesthetics are on par with each other. The Corsa D is only going to have a life of about 4 years.

[CJB]

The back of it looks like a Tiida.

But, I love it. :)

[blackSRi]

Group buy from Europe I say. anyone know if it's doable? ie compliance and cost?

[MatsHolden]

Not worth it for the cost mate. And I can imagine insurance companies would hit you hard for a privately imported vehicle.

[blackSRi]

Depends on if there's an official warranty and support, not always a killer cost though - depends on risk and agreed value.
