Looks like Focus ST rear end, and someone has left the Astra VXR plates on it if I'm not mistaken? Good photoshop anyway

I thought Astra VXR when i saw it..... Not my cup of tea TBH
Do you think this is a "Oh B******s were not selling the new shape, lets do a coupe version. Alan, give Vauxhall a ring and get the design bloke that did the Astra VXR on board."

Still not what you'd call pretty.

Better looking than the Impreza though.

I don't really see why that is called an Impreza?

Any other manufacturer would give it another name surely?

It's as different as a Primera and a 350Z, well not quite as different, but you see the point I'm making.

bit long but it works

Cant remember where I sore it last time but apparently they will make a Subaru coupe and a Toyota coupe both being pretty much the same car....same as a llot of cars now I guess, most cars share a lot of parts with each other now.

Interesting that

H4VXL
H5VXL
J3VXL
L9VXL
etc.

Are all registered on Vauxhalls...So, how did H2VXL end up on that photoshop picture?

Nice try Autoexpress - makes a change from the Mazda 3 "Impreza" that was plastered over the net for yonks
