This Vauxhall Astra VXR turned up on Monday. I've got it for a week and will be putting as many miles on in it in as many different scenarios as I can. I posted a photo on Oppo recently, which generated the usual, " Awwwww why don't they sell those in America, " responses.

It's got 280bhp and is front wheel drive. It's batshit crazy

Here are my first impressions of the car after driving it for a day.

Selling it in America would probably make sense if it were sold as a Saturn (like the Vectra B was) or a Pontiac. However, both those avenues are closed.
