Maybe under Peugeot management!
(Likely not, Peugeot=Hothatches)

I’m afraid that’s unlikely:(
We will mainly see more of these: crossovers, crossovers and more crossovers. The Cascada, Astra GTC and probably the Adam will get axed, the Zafira is likely to transform into a SUV. I’m still somewhat sceptical about the whole PSA/Opel deal.
One can dream

Yeah, you’re right, Peugeot is better in hothatches than sports cars.
I’m guessing the Zafira will be replaced by a 5008 based car (Crossland X is 3008 based IIRC), as well as the Astra becoming 308 based and the corsa becoming 208 based. The Karl will either be axed or replaced by a higher 108 based car. The Insignia will probably remain for a while, and will be axed or become 508 based depending on sales.
The Adam must be axed, to reduce the number of times I am chopped while driving on the ‘Ring, haha.

A bit too much overlap for my taste. We all got chopped by unassuming small cars.

Yes, it is too much overlap, but Peugeot and Opel have sort of different customer bases due to past reputations. Seeing what they did with the Crossland X (2008) and Grandland X (3008), it would be logical, though.
Yes, damn Adams, and other cars such as that 406 Coupe and Accord! I passed no one, did have a Clio IV RS on my bumper for a while which had the same corner speeds, finally passed me on a straight due to speed difference, but it was a rental so the guy probably didn’t know what he was doing.

Time will tell I guess.
The Accord and 406 Coupe were surprisingly quick, your facial impression when we passed you was priceless. Plus the 406 had extra weight with me. I should have rented a car at the Ring but then again, no 21 = no rental.

I was kinda devastated that you guys passed me, but I tried getting back to the rear bumper, haha. The Accord is great for blocking the Karussel, haha.
When do you 21? You need to drive the ‘Ring asap.

The Accord was pushed hard though, we had a hard time passing too. You really made use of the 1.2 liters and 75 horses.
5 Werks. Let’s see, I might have steady income starting next month so I’ll FINALLY buy a car ahahaha.

I always use all 75 hp, otherwise it doesn’t move, haha.
Nice, you need a car, haha. Maybe I’ll be back to the ‘Ring before I go to Canada, do think that will be sooner though, otherwise we could do a mini oppo meet.

I just hope with a warmed up engine haha.
We could and arrange something, still need a car and time though.

Of course!
I’ll let you know once I know if I end up going so we can see if we can pick a day.
