BLS - agreed there. I was thinking of the Fit/Jazz as a similar vehicle in size & fuel economy compared to the regular Corsas. In addition to the MINI, you can throw the Ford Fiesta and the offerings from Renault and Citroen in there, too. -AN]]>Jan 3rd 2007 3:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 3:21PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 3:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 3:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/
I know what you mean though. This Car has to be sold in Saturn Dealerships soon. I would buy this.

There is a market for fancy small cars in Europe, but that market is much smaller here, so almost all our small cars are economy cars.

When you're ready to spend $23K on this car, it'll come here. But I would mention a Saturn Aura is only $26K, and most Americans would opt for that larger car over this one.

Still, I love the car. I don't think I'd buy it, cause it's too small. But it's very nice.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 4:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 4:21PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 4:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 4:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 4:50PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/
Or is the market much smaller because almost all of our small cars are economy cars?

After years of being treated to crapbuckets like the Ford Aspire, early Hyundai Accent, etc, is it really any wonder that the small car market is so...small?

The Mini proved that small cars don't have to be econobox junkers to sell. IMO, the Fit, Versa, and Yaris are round two. They may not be luxury, per se, but they are certainly chock full of premium content and what have you and, love it or hate it, they do have distinctive styling.

I think a Saturn Corsa would be an absolute no-brainer. Bring it over as a Red Line with this 1.9L, and it'd make it on my list.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 4:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 5:02PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/
There are 300 MILLION people in the the US for crissakes! (The third most populous country in the world) I just don't believe there is no market. How big of a market do they want? Is is really not worth selling 20-50k units at GM or Ford anymore? They should take what they can these days.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 5:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/
GM...sell it here...you will have my money! Can't wait for 2009...I'll have a new Camaro and a Corsa DD.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 5:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/
Recently I've been admiring the Honda Fit for it's functionality and practicality.

With the Corsa, you could bet that GM could get me to buy two of their cars. One Corsa Redline and a 5-door Astra. Oh, to dream...]]>Jan 3rd 2007 5:46PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 6:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/
I'm certain that GM's marketing people are reading this and taking in the input from some of the enthusiast. Therefore, although it's a small quantity of people who love this VXR/OPC Corsa, GM please bring this to Canada/USA as soon as you can get through Federal crash and emissions testing.

I look forward to GM's rivival... and hope that by October 2007 there will be a product that will peak my interest.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 6:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/03/vauxhall-corsa-vxr-opel-corsa-opc-to-be-unleashed-in-march/Jan 3rd 2007 6:12PM
