Just seen the new Corsa tv advert and think its really good. I now fear how this will affect potential Grande Punto buyers :(

C'mon Fiat you must now fight back with a new GP ad!

i laughed its crap, nothing on the car at all, least the punto one was very informative and gave a price too!

It may not be informative but it's gonna appeal to youngsters! The Grande Punto advert was good but it lacked any sense of fun.
 
It's been showing on ITV 1 Wales but should be broadcast on all ITV channels. It's in two parts, the second advert mentions about the launch date. I think its October 14th.

My review

AppleSei on other GP thread said:
Well there is an actual demo model of the new corsa outside xscape in Castleford West Yorkshire in an ice blue style colour

You can definately see the GP elements of it. It looked alright, it is definately the biggest car in the supermini class now, easily disposing of the new clio. It does look like an astra from the front, but the back is completely different.

Interior fixtures looked a bit fresher than the GP, a bit more modern in my eyes.

Apparently the silly yellow random lights around the interior have been dropped from all of the models so a representative from vauxhall told me.

It wasnt driveable due to the amount of stickers on the windscreen but it felt no different in terms of comfort than the GP when sat in.

An interesting point is they will be pitching this very model on display (1.2 life) approx 500 cheaper than the equivalent GP (im gathering is the active) with the 1yr free insurance for ages 19-80 straight from launch, so theyre obviously going for the GP's jugular vein from the off, according to this rep.

It may be a load of talk however but we will find out in a few weeks/months if this is true

Overall i give it a 6/10 nice colour and interior, shame theyve copied everyone else in terms of the design
 
Well it would seem the dealer you were speaking to was indeed talking sh*te lol as most of them do....

They didnt drop the yellow lights...
The 1.2 life costs £8795 and still comes with less kit than the active GP

The cheapest corsa is the 1.0 12v expression which comes in at £7495
and the cheapest GP is........£7489

and can you guess which one you still get more equipment on? ;)
 
Don't worry gang it doesn't look Italian whatsoever.

Quite personally it is devoid of any character and personality.

Who will be mostly driving the new corsa...mmmm:

Trainee estate agents
Classifed ad reps
Driving instructors
Girls aged between 18-24 who drink in Yates, and beg daddy to buy them one
The occasional recently retired couple

Done.

Strippy!:)

Oh my god they are using the 3 cyl 12v 1.0 unit in the new corsa what are they thinking?. Its like using a lawnmower engine to drive a battleship.....

I drove one of those engines in my mates corsa, they're terrible! you need to rev the balls off it when you get to any kind of hill! and thats with two people.

Why? Why would you do that to us?

cos some people havent seen it so im providing them a link if they wish to watch... does that make sense?

Dont worry im not trying to make out the Corsa is better cos its not! I just think the advert is good.
