who cares what its against... its coming to Australia and thats good enough for me!Originally Posted by gmonkey
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....
Gtc is virtually equal to my car or at best an Sri... $40k is steep imo
But yes glad its coming here

well atleast its coming hear but the power figures arent too crash hot. its gotta have power figures more inline with the golf GTi.
Btw how much will it weigh?

Ok, I think I know which car I'm going to be looking at getting should this new job work out!!!
Now they just need to bring out the Insignia hatch, rather than just the notchback or sports tourer...

87. If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.
Good news they are coming, but at under $40k, say $38k, it still looks pricey.
Golf GTI 3 Door manual is $39k and has a much better engine, power wise..
No point comparing it to the Scirocco R or Megane RS250 when it will be slower than even a GTI, that's the OPC's job.
It would have to be priced around the $33k mark to be competitive. 132kW and 230Nm isn't very impressive for a performance hatch. The Astra G Turbo has 147kW 250Nm and it's near 10 years old.
Not saying it's a bad car, but needs more curry to be a hot hatch. I'll welcome the OPC version.
MY07 Golf GTI DSG
Volvo XC60 T6
Ex- 2003 Astra SRI Turbo
Means opc one will be close to $60k... Which then begs question megane rs for a decent amount cheaper or opc..
Also means insignia price for baseline 2.0t will be 50k or so
