All the previews I've read so far have generally praised the way it drives. The interior is supposed to be pretty poor unfortunately.

Launching in Europe without a diesel seems pretty crazy though.

Best of luck to them, trying to beat the Focus and Golf is a pretty big challenge.

"perennial back-marker outfit Jordan in 2007" - actually the results show that Jordan F1 were regularly in the midfield, coming as high as third in the constructors championship. Sure they slid back in their last 3 seasons but that doesn't make them a "perennial back-marker outfit"

Google/Wikipedia is your friend, Autoblog.

"Golf is an impractical car for an American family. Just put a stroller in the trunk, and the space is gone. If you take two small children to the grocery you'll have to put the groceries in their lap."
Then get the V50, its an estate so will have a lovely big boot. If thats not big enough then I'd have to question the size of your stroller

"America is not Europe where people live with their parents till they die. There's nobody there to babysit you and your children in America."
See that kinda comment just serves to debase your argument. I know its the internet and you can generally say what you please but people are more likely to listen if you dont insult them.

Also, why is the Golf so impractical for americans? The golf has a generous boot and tens of millions of families across Europe with 2/3 children manage perfectly well with Golf sized cars. I'd quite like to know what makes American families so different?

The fact that the government has to ask this sort of question shows how far away from the pulse of the country.

They've had their heads up their asses for years.

Also, vauxhall designed the concept that would eventually become the solstice/opel gt (the VX Lightning Concept) it was supposed to be the successor to the VX220 but GM decided it would cost too much to do a RHD version.

Oh and all the hot Opels, bar the opel gt and the monaro, were originally done by vauxhall under the VXR brand.

So they're certainly not worthless.

I can't wait to see the european price/release date! Do I hear £180 - £200 people?? But its ok caus it "won't magically change just because you want it to..."
As you can tell i'm rather bitter about this...

RB1 wii still not out in europe, still not even a release date.

I now have only contempt for harmonix/ea.

Looks like GH:WT for me.

Considering that european wii owners haven't even got RB1 yet, or even a release date!, any RB related post is just insulting for me.

Gimped version, horrendous price, non-existent release/date - Harmonix/EA must really hate us. Did we bully/kill/cheat on them in a past life or sumthin????

I wish they would finally fix their drivers for AGP people, which are still broken, after 3 or 4 months now.

Problem is, because it's a Peugout, it will be fat, underpowered and front wheel drive. Therefore, its best use will be as a garden ornament.
