my mate is 17 and drives a 3 wheeler, so what, there will always be exceptions
Will the majority of the 100 drive the top of the range model? Will they be young?

no actually your right, most new manufacturers designers have lost the plot 
new civic IMO is tripe.but it will sell.
corsa vxr will sell.
speaking to general sales manager here just,asked him why people slate vxr models. he reckons its because people are threatened by vauxhall making a sporty comeback. and people who want them cant afford them so they slag em off instead.thats his opinion btw,not mine.

Or the other end of the scale, snobby BMW/Audi type drivers who think the Vuaxhall brand is cheap and rubbish and are angry that their £40k car is being oblitorated by a £16k Corsa or £20k Astra....
As i say for MOST (NOT ALL) rich people (work with snobby assed solicitors), they have feck loads of intelligence, but commen sence seems to have gone on a long walk never to return

like the monaro. half the price of i think it was an M3,similar performance and just as fun. even jermey "i hate vx" clarkson said it was worth the money and BMW should be worried!

£35k for a 500bhp/500lb ft Monaro
£50k for a 321bhp BMW M3
Hmmmmm, Ultimate driving machine or not, put them on the motorway (where most driving is done), adios M3....
Not saying an M3 is bad by any means though Just an example.

He wanted a Monaro, but loved his Astra, so brought the Monaro to his Astra

Aside from the Meriva

seriously u need to drive one. they are a right fast little thing. this is why i know that the corsa will be a rapid little bastard, and the meriva vxr handles quite well

Meriva sells well though, so does the Zafira, it's all about the sales, not the image

I'm not doubting its fast or doesn't handle well.
Just think that between the rest of the range they have all areas covered without the need for the Meriva. Meriva is a bit of an odd car in general!

Noooooooooooo linky please if you have it?
I am already feeling aroused at the sound of this though....
Guess he didn't want the Monaro and got horny for the engine instead, but given what he was saying about his previous cars (somewhat presitigious as well!!!!! In fact, i was suprised he came down to a lowly cheap vauxhall....) I have no doubt he'll do it..

More about the fun involved in doing what he does and the people in the scene.
You wouldn't get so called "normal" people at a Mercedes meet would you?

Clearly crap - they're not as good as the ones from a car costing £12k more.
