a torsion bar doesnt instantly mean it will handle well, my megane coupe had a torsion bar and it handled shit, whereas my 106gti had a torsion bar and handled well, 
 
torsion bars are poo with heavy front engine cars, so a lot will be down to how heavy the engine is in the corsa and how well balanced it is.

i think it'll only be good when people start replacing the engine with the astra vxr one, and then it'll break down alot, and just about keep up with all the other standard cars in its class, but have worse handling

they wont release it a turbo corsa, again, ford tried with a turbo fiesta, and they couldnt do it. 
 
 
if you say they will, can we see evidence, otherwise im just plainly going to say, bullshit. 
 
also a standard type r with a standardastra coupe turbo, the type r is quicker 
 
and before u say, what about the vxr astra, what would the super charged type r?? or even the jdm?? (now i dont like jap cars so it takes alot for me to say that)

given the amount of press coverage on the corsa vxr and the fact a 1.6 turbo engine ready to go... if they'll put it in a mini MPV why not a corsa.

No they didnt, not recentley, the mocked up a Fiesta RS, didnt get much further

Wrong, Meriva VXR, allready has the engine, allready on sale, doh, reserch next time 
 
also a standard type r with a standardastra coupe turbo, the type r is quicker 
 
Well done, thats compare cars that arent in the same class, a hot hatch vs a touring coupe    
 
and before u say, what about the vxr astra, what would the super charged type r?? or even the jdm?? (now i dont like jap cars so it takes alot for me to say that) 
 
well what about a VXR astra with a supercharger and nitros and a jet engine  , i doubt the JDM will have 48bhp more to rival the astra

I thought the only difference between the JDM Type-R and the normal one was that the JDM Type-R has a LSD.

Ed you should learn that when someone disagree's with you it doesnt mean they are wrong 
 
 
anyway the proof will be in the pudding and no-one knows how it will handle until its released
