The Astra VXR cant' get to Saturn fast enough...

I was so happy to see it @ the Minneapolis Auto show, if it'* priced right, and still has the 240HP i might consider it this fall.

Last time I read, IIRC, the Astra is getting stuck with the 140 HP only...

IIRC they'd make a "Redline" version as well, which would essentially be the VXR. Emissions might demand a retuning, but if that car doesn't come with the Turbo engine, then it'* just another hatch that'* better then GM USA'* offerings, but just a hair below the rivals.

Which is the XVR? Is that the hatchback Opel that'* kinda aggressive looking? I think I may have driven one if that'* the case.

EDIT: Just did my own digging, it was an Astra OPC. 2.0L 240hp (prolly the same engine out of the Solstice GXP)....fun car
