Wow, that is huge then. Had a close up look at a VXR8 not so long back, and it was mahoosive. Bloody nice though. Is there a price tag on these boyos yet?

True...... but the name fiat will always carry that dodgy electrical thing with it, same with alfa

Well with me it will anywho, but other people who deal with brand new cars day in day out might have a different opinion

yeah but then people take inspiration from their aspirations dont they! not saying the insignia trying to be a BMW but its slap bang in the 3-series competitors market & the VXR badge is going to have the M3 in its sights, and considering the M3's history of beaing pretty much king of the hill in its class its a daunting task!

Scrap it!

Get rid of all the crap electics and seats with more buttons than an aircraft, might go a bit better!

Im dreading the day ive gotta work on them :mad:

Nice to know its STILL the ugliest car on the road!

TBH it would appear GM are trying to aim at the BMW/Audi market here. Which is flawed - as BMW/Audi drivers drive BMWs and Audis BECAUSE they're BMWs and Audis. They will never switch to an "inferior" badge. Sure, the car may be faster, better equipped, cheaper, etc but you'll never tear them from their leather clad germanic outside lane cruisers.

True but they are for people that want BMW's and Audi's but cant afford one. And for people who don't want to be considered a BMW driver.

I think it looks very nice, deffo looks well put together.

Id have one, either that or the VXR8 Bathhurst (obviously 2nd choice to my to be LET Nova :D )
