Here is the latest news from Vauxhall.

Dear Mr Crowe,

The new edition of the Vauxhall Corsa, on sale in the autumn, comes with a
fresh dynamic design and a broad range of technical innovations.

* Twinport technology cuts fuel consumption by up to 13 per cent
* New Euro 4 1.3 and 1.7 litre common rail turbo-diesels
* Dynamic looks, agile handling with shorter steering ratio



The new edition of the Vauxhall Corsa, on sale in the autumn, comes with
a fresh dynamic design and a broad range of technical innovations.

Highlights include new 1.3 litre and 1.7 litre common rail turbo-diesel
engines (70 and 100 hp) and a newly developed 1.4 ECOTEC 90 hp petrol
engine with twinport technology.

The 1.4 twinport uses up to 13 per cent less fuel than the current Corsa
1.4 litre model.

The innovative petrol saving concept from Vauxhall is also available for
the three-cylinder 60 hp Corsa 1.0 litre model, using around three per
cent less fuel than its predecessor, with more power and torque.

Electric, speed-sensitive power steering is more responsive and a shorter
steering ratio improves handling. With an expanded range of equipment,
the Vauxhall Corsa, in its third year of sales, is more technically
mature than ever.

The new edition Corsa's exterior has been redesigned with distinctive 3D
headlamps with three cylindrical lamps for low beam, high beam and
indicators.

Front and rear bumpers are colour-keyed and come with integrated inserts
to protect against damage from minor collisions. Inside new upholstery
and colours provide a fresh ambience. All these visual enhancements
underline Corsa's athletic styling.

Comprehensive equipment on the revised Corsa includes a "follow me home"
light function, that provides exterior lighting after the car is parked.

Corsa's engine range consists of six four-cylinder units - four petrol
and two common rail turbo-diesels from 1.0 to 1.8 litres.

The twinport petrol engines achieve reductions in fuel consumption by
using a variable intake manifold in combination with high rates of
exhaust gas recirculation.

For example, the new 1.0 ECOTEC twinport engine returns 53.5 mpg, three
per cent better than previously.

Fuel savings are even greater with the 1.4 ECOTEC twinport engine,
returning
47.9 mpg, 13 per cent better than its predecessor with the same power
output and five-speed manual transmission.

The new 1.3- and 1.7-litre CDTi ECOTEC turbo-diesels produce low fuel
consumption combined with high performance and refinement. The compact
1.3 CDTi ECOTEC - the smallest four-cylinder common rail diesel engine in
the world - returns 62.8 mpg thanks to its Multi-Injection system.

The 1.7 CDTi ECOTEC features a turbocharger with variable turbine
geometry, and returns 58.9 mpg with maximum torque of 240 Nm.

Easytronic automated manual transmission is an option on the 1.0 twinport
and 1.2 petrol engines.

Prices will be announced closer to on-sale date.
