our new look rival

[yorkshireborn]

new mondeo

[VectraV6CDTi]

"...Powered by a 3.2-litre straight-six turbocharged engine producing more than 250bhp......."
Nearly as much BHP as the VXR..

[Maddog1974]

Surely thats very poor power for the engine size?

Think the old cozzie's got 220bhp out of a 2 litre!

That interior is awful!!

its a lot more than my GSi 3.2 plus the tuners have not got hold of it yet i bet this time next year some 1 has 300+bhp

although i love my GSi to do think VX made a big **** up on its output.
and to be honest i could see myself defecting to that.

Looks a bit like a laguna from Pic 3 IMO. I must admit I would definately consider it as a contender for my next car.

looks very australian to me.

But your GSi hasn't got a turbo strapped to it. The VXR is 280bhp from a 2.8 turbo.

that was my point when i said VX made a **** up if they'd have stuck a turbo on we would have been talking upto 300bhp.

If they've got the seats right in it this time, I could well be tempted. Need to see a few more colours and specs first.
