Mmmm, can someone please tell me exactly what par of that car is a Vauxhall ?
I think it’s a little wrong to call it “Vauxhall’s very own, VXR8 super-saloon…….
Cheers.

I know this is going to come out all wrong when I say that this car really doesn’t have any kind of wow factor for me. Even with it V8 engine and 20 inch rims!!
