My new hot hatch - Vauxhall Corsa VXR
Got this a couple months ago. Didn't post pics of it yet. Took some this morning, so I hope you enjoy. Not available in the States obviously

Congrats on the purchase! Buy some tires, stat!

So it's Vauxhall in SA? They sell it as the Saturn Astra here, but not sure if they have the "Red Line" variant on our shores...

Nope, but it's just more generally known as Vauxhall in most countries. In SA, it's called an Opel Corsa OPC.

Correct! That's what it is branded here. Opel Corsa OPC. I used Vauxhall as it is more commonly known as that in Europe and other parts of the world.

We will see - depends on what they price it at. I'm not going to be silly money for a hot hatch.
