    I like the sunny melon colour and the overall look of the car - nothing a little modding couldn't fix. Although not much in the way of performance. Hopefully there will be an OPC/VXR variant.

    I'm sure the OPC/VXR variant will not be short on power or performance...

    Looks nice in yellow and alot like Megane RS250 LOL but I too prefer that 'sunny melon' colour Click here to enlarge

    Can't wait to see if they release a 2 door roadster twin top variant with the drivetrain of the OPC/VXR as I read somewhere they are going to do and it wouldn't surprise me either to compete, as VW are definitely releasing Gti and/or R variants of the Golf convertible soon...

    3" Exhaust and a tune brings it up to the current vxr OE spec, minus about 20nm of torque.

    Didn't they state they wanted a bigger platform (something between the Astra and the Insignia) for a convertible? Or was that a piece of classic misinformation again?

    Well the standard GTC has a longer wheelbase and is wider than the 5 door astra. So perfect platform for a vert?

    Designed to blow away the competition, the 1.6-liter turbo has been outfitted with a high-performance needle valve (€980), higher-quality connecting rods (€550), larger fuel injectors (€500), and an HG Motorsport turbo manifold (€1,200). Furthermore, the company installs a Garret GT28 turbocharger (€1,000), a custom intercooler (€600), a 100mm air-flow meter (€300), a 7mm downpipe (€800), and a stainless steel sport exhaust system (€800).

    I hope the downpipe is bigger than that Click here to enlarge
