I Don't give a shit for what Clarkson says, that's why I'm a proud owner of a Vauxhall Vectra.
And the Astra VXR is a Good car and who knows: Even better than a Golf GTi.
I could tell from your first post Kowalski that you were a Vauxhall owner; what sort of reflected glory do you think you're gonna get from the new Astra?
I'm pleased that you think Vauxhalls are thpecial, but there's a reason just about every country in the world where they sell Golf GTIs has a long waiting list (over 6 months here in Australia) whereas you can walk straight in and pick up that crappy Vauxhall with it's dodgy electronic acceleration in moments.
If there weren't much between the two cars people would say "Hey, they're almost as good as each other, and there's no wait for the Vauxhall AND it's cheaper, I'll get that." What actually happens is people sit in the Vauxhall, think god, this is awful, and go and put themselves on the GTI waiting list.
Let's wait and see what TG have to say.
What you mean Glory??? WTF you talking about?!
If I were concerned about Glory, I would buy a car from a prestigious brand and not just any rubbish: i.e BMW 1-Series.
I Would buy, something really good: i.e Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
I Chose, my Vectra, because, I found to be a better car than my previous Mondeos and 406s - In fact - My Vectra is better, than both these cars.
I'm talking about "badge" or prestige or Image. My Vectra and the Astra are Vauxhalls. And as a Vauxhall, is another sensible workhorse, maybe too clinical but who cares???
I Like my car, ITS NOT A FERRARI OR A LAMBORGHINI! Its just a Vauxhall and I indeed don't give a shit, from the comments of a Twat who bought the wrong car, found out that his "dream car" was just another Overpriced, Unreliable Ford POS and became a crybaby: Asked for his Money back.
So, you clearly would not buy a Good Car, just because some 6ft4, fat, dodgy haired, Arrogant, Wanker says "because, it's a Vauxhall"???
Jeremy Clarkson means nothing for me: Who could entrust any positive credence upon the judgment of a motoring journalist who is willing to park an obsolete jet fighter in his front garden and then buys a car incapable of getting him to work without having to refill his fuel tank every 70 miles?
YOU SHOULD KNOW, that Vauxhall ranked better than Volkswagen and Oh dear...Hyundai is getting better than Volkswagen in terms of customer satisfaction:
Take a look at the J.D Power Survey and see where Vauxhall ranked:
VOLKSWAGEN IS IN THE TOILLET!
But then you said: People sit behind a Vauxhall or a Hyundai and think: "Oh God this is awful".
Well, I'm afraid what they will say, when one day, they we will be driving their pathethic VWs and all of a sudden, the damn Hep of Junk stops and when they open the bonnet, they will say: "Oh God this is awful!"
Not to mention, the horrible crayon smell and broken palstics every where, then they will say: Oh dear this awfully semlly and noisy! How stupid I was, I should have bought a Honda!"
But, then VWs have a..."soul", at least, that's what their mechanics will say, every day when you bring the car to him. "Screw this soul thing, I buy a Hyundai next time, at least I got a 5 year warranty."
By the way: Don't buy a car just because of the stupid badge, we're disgusted of idiots who bought the Vaneo just because it's a Mercedes.
Volkswagen means nothing actually, and they are facing a financial crisis that God knows what is going to happen to them - The Phaeton is miserable sales flop, the Jetta is an Overpriced Piece of Junk and so as you precious Golf.
