What the point? only 140 bhp??? 
I know they don't want to compete with the astra VXR as that's their flagship performance model, but 140 bhp come on? it won't keep up with much, won't be a rival to the Fiesta ST. Basically will get slagged for being meant as a quick car, but slow.

Well in one of those previews it said it was only a 1.8 140 bhp.
It's all bullshit though - vaux always say they're gonna release a 180 bhp turbo corsa but never do lol.

I think it will be a winning formula as long as they dont make the car too heavy!

That's the Corsa D standard models, not the VXR

A Vauxhall spokesman told us: "We anticipate 70 per cent of VXRs will be sold in the UK. We have high hopes for the hot Corsa."
Erm, according to one review I read the VXR is only being released in the UK, over on the continent it's being called the GSi again
