It has the same platform as the next corsa so the dimensions of the car will be similar to that. I think the turbo engine mentioned will also be the gm 1.6, originally earmarked for 160 but then raised to 180bhp in light of the forthcoming fiesta rs which will probably have a n/a 180bhp 2.0.
I like the look of it, some people will undoubtedly say it looks girlie but although I like the mk2, it is a bit square. What is of interest is the rumoured, if thats true, 150bhp jtd, it seems all manufacturers are making hot diesels now.
