So why do you class it as a future classic if...

You don't like the look of them?

And you think the engines are shit?



Very balanced car, excellent in a corner. Not a lot can keep up with it from a-b.
Doesn't mean I have to like it. Looks like an astra.

errrrrrrrrrrr no , otherwise i would have put various others

i was putting IMO what will be futures classics, looking at what today is allready cosidered as a classic, for example the standard subeam talbot is not really seen as a proper classic car, but the lotus sunbeam is, becasue of its performance heritage

Thats not the point, for a car to be a true classic it has to have some good points, and 'good for the weekly shop' is not one of them?

Still no-ones answered my question .

Whats different about the Storm compared to other Corrados? They look the same to me .

Now if there was a distinct difference like the difference between a Mk2 Golf GTi, and a Mk2 Golf Ralle (spl?), i could see where the extra money was going .

This Corrado storm is one of just five hundred. A Limited Edition? More a Final Edition. No more are to be made. That said, what a Final Edition: 2.9 litres and 190 bhp of pure VR6. Elsewhere, we've exercised due restraint, settling for a choice of two colours (the mystic blue shown here, and classic green, both in pearl effect), 6-spoke alloys, full leather trim and a CD player. Meanwhile, our condolences in advance to those who leave it too late. Corrado Storm.
