Also take into account... Is your SRi you currently have looking after you? ie: no faults or breakdowns. If it is, then you have no real reason to upgrade just yet which gives you the time to wait for the more spec'd up Opels to come to Aus
I suppose the only downside is that it might not be worth as much for a trade in then because it will have more kms/older, yada yada, but at the end of the day, its your choice that should make you happy!

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
The interior isn't that bad.. But if it's the ultimate hot hatch that you want, then it's the RS250..
Also look at the scirocco, more of a OPC competitor than the GTI.

I saw a Megane rs250 in the flesh yesterday. I have to say, it's a very nicely styled car, really a good looker. Renault seem to do this every now and then. It is however, still French, so expect some unusual things in there. As usual, the locals completely miss the boat by not giving up the 265hp motor. Some of us locals like the option of a little individuality. Without the option of a 'special' version, you might as well get yourself a Mazda 3 like everybody else.

You are obviously thinking of a new car "now". So why base you decision on what may come from Opel in 18months time?
I say, go look at a Golf Edition 35. It has a detuned Golf R (173kW/300Nm ) engine mated to the DSG box.
Isn't the Renault Megane RS250 Monaco GP LE the "special edition"?

Why compare manual to DSG too? Why not look at the manual golfs if you're looking at manual OPC's. Completely different cars
Yeah, err, no. A few extra pieces of jewelry and some eyeshadow doesn't really make it special. A bit of extra 'factory' horse power might.
