    Veccy C's

    Right. Now I'm dirty. I can't believe Holden/HSV wouldn't consider these. I know the Corsa is under sonsideration (check out the link below) but I reckon the VXR vectra is an awesome bit of kit.Some may have seen these so I appologise but check out these new Vecc's in the UK.

    Due to the Vectra being the VX car in the BTCC(which I admit I didn't know until this morning), there are some wonderful things happening to my beloved car (albeit the facelift version).

    Vectra - right, I want this car

    Corsa

    What do the other Veccy drivers reckon?

    According to the article that started all the discussion in the thread about the VXR Corsa..... HSV are considering the VXR Veccy, and if it happens, maybe in a couple of years time Click here to enlarge

    So I think maybe, just maybe I should buy a Corsa VXR as the play thing, keep my Veccy for day to day, and hang out for the Veccy VXR..... maybe Click here to enlarge

    Love the front bar though.... the eyelids will take some getting used to *hmmm* but yeah, the rear diffuser is most excellent!

    I honestly can't see the Vectra VXR making it here. The Corsa has a stronger probability. That's disappointing becuase without trying to upset the Corsa drivers, I think the Vectra VXR would be a better fit between HSV's Astra VXR and a full blown Commodore variant.

    But then again, what would I know? I am just the general paying publicClick here to enlarge

    As for the Front bar. I really dig it. Apparently the eyelids are part of the racing homologation but I'm sorry (or maybe just ignorant) I don't understand what they achieve.

    Wouldnt upset the Corsa drivers...its a different segment of the market.
    Both the Corsa OPC and Vectra OPC Deserve a place in the market here..

    If a VXR Vectra came here, it would definately be on my shortlist as a next car..

    Don't see it happening though..

    BTW - those front eyebrows look sh*t!!

    I'd expect we will never see the Veccy C (VXR/OPC) here, especially as Holden have stopped importing the standard car. However, now that Holden has a new boss things 'could' change. Fingers crossed ofcourse. Click here to enlarge

    If we have a Vectra here again it will be the D (Insignia) model & not the current facelift C. IMO, the current car in any form will never be sold here again.

    I think it would be awesome if we got the Vectra D/Insignia, but I reckon we've got Buckley's of that happening Click here to enlarge

    I agree it's not likely to happen but I still can't think of a better car to sit in the stable at HSV. Not a 'small' car and not a huge commodore.

    And Oz, I wouldn't have thought that was the number one contributing factor that because the standard car wasn't here the VXR version wouldn't come. You may be right.

    Oh well
