It's obviously a Corsa D, but we all know there just new nova's lol

But why has this got GTE decals/plates on it? the making GTE's and promoting them as lesser then VXR's?

Also whats with these Jamaica yellow one's i keep seeing too??

Its the exact old nova GTE badge aswell and not the astra GTE badge.

Very strange if they have brought a corsa GTE out lol

[hendrix]

looks odd, a mixture of old and new that doesn't really work for me

[AndrewJenkins]

just had a look on the vaux website and they dont list a gte and are they vauxhall alloys just wondering if this is some sort of one off jobbies

and yeah they slapped it on the c's and d's not sure if they have changed the name though

[amggsi]

Dealer special to shift stock i'd say! Waste of a GTE badge i think.........

[Mike]

Just looks like every other Corsa D Comfort+ with some posh wheel to me :S

[Winty]

Apparently a 1.2 and by looks of it no fog lights.....Just another limited edition corsa then. big fail for me!

[Andy]

Thats dog muck.
And also against the sales of goods act if im getting ghey lol

[craig green]

Blimey, I thought the one I seen on the road was some sad chav thinking he'd put a cool sticker on his car. Not cool IMO.

[Winty]

I might pop in and ask, as i cant see no info on the net about them, surly it must be some sort of GTE to put the badge on???

[Mike]

A cunning plow to mass market ****y **** EcoFlex's to kids more like lol

[scott.parker]

Seams to have made a good topic though lol

[Edd]

At least anyone restoring a GTE will now be able to get the right decals now lol

[LEWI007]

yeah GM GTE Decals might be back in stock now then lol

[Bubba]

Was at a show the other day where there was a dealer trying to sell a "tarted" up VXR-stylleeee Corsa D 1.2.

They wanted £14600 for it!!!!! For some big wheels and a bloody body kit!

The guy, obviously because i'm young, targeted me, trying to sell it to me as a "cheaper alternative to a VXR". I then explained to him (because I was actually quite insulted by the price of a new 1.2 Corsa) that I'd spent 3 years building up no claims, and that if I was to bother spending nye on 15 grand on a Corsa, it would HAVE to be a VXR and there was no way I'd bother even looking at a 1.2. He soon buggered off.

Very odd choice of badges for a special edition.

should have said id rather spend 15K on my nova lol then proceed to tell him about how you could buy a 4x4 sport turbo...and another clean turbo both for 7k lol lol

There was an Astra GTE aswell iirc, there has been a thread on this before somewhere. It was a dealer special edition and the GTE stood for something like the dealer names initials

[scott.parker]

Well Rich your the guy who maybe could find this one out, the dealership is Bridge in Evesham, i don't understand why you would make a "special" by adding GTE decal Badges, seam's quite stupid..

[LEWI007]

Well from my past research i found that the old original GTE Stood for 'Grand Touring Executive'

[Novasport]

The 'E' is for Einspritzanlage which is German for injection

[Spudly]

Hence the first cars to wear the badge had 'GT/E' on them, mantas i believe:thumb:

What a true waste of a GTE badge, if its just something the dealers have decided to splash on them then im fairly sure the decals will just be reproduced ones, most probably from a local sticker shop, and wont be official vaux ones!

When will they go back to the boxy shapes as now there's no future classics from today's cars.

Ohh there will be plenty future classics, just not classics to how we perceive them currently kinda thing.

Focus RS500, VXR Nurby, Astra 888, Clio 182 Cup, C2 RS etc etc

Better stock up on the cavity wax, seems the kind of classics I'd own are only gonna get rarer and rustier lol

[christurboo]

is it stupid that i want one of them just because it a gte?

Badge them up and shift them scheme, successful.
