Nothing about it looks good IMO, the colours clash with eachother, black is too plain in the first place, so removing the stripes wouldn't make it look better.

Should have been white, with red details, that would have worked.

Even colour coding the brake calipers would have helped...

Remove those chrome VXR badges from the door please. Hate that.

EVO are reviewing the Corsa version as we speak I believe and will be doing a head to head of this, the R26R, Focus RS as well.

They've not had a Corsa outside their offices recently, or an Astra...

I thought they'd already done the R26.R against something, can't remember what though.

Corsa must be with EVO then at the moment. I know he said he expected it to be in next months issue or the one after.

No, I mean there isn't a Corsa at EVO HQ at the mo, hasn't been this week, or the tail end of last week, unless I mistime my driveby every day and it's already gone to someone's house

Could be I suppose, they've got an office in London, but the editorial bit is up the road from me (as is the one for Octane magazine) and a lot of the shots of the long termers are on roads near me, which is always odd to see Maybe they're testing it on a track though, we'll see at some point no doubt.
