I love the Rolls Royce Camargue. Sure it was faster rolling down a hill in neutral than it was flat-out in top gear (I'm not sure if it was 3rd or 4th), but it's a damn pretty car and beautifully built.

erm £25k for the Vectra VXR Estate for instance is not over-prived, or stupid.
Bonkers power, suitably menacing looks, it's absolutely vast. It's a lot of bang, and a lot of car your your buck.
The VXR8 - need I say more? M5 for breakfast for £35k? Bargain of the millenium
Zafira VXR - Making the Family car cool
Corsa VXR - Erm, Fiesta ST? Polo GTI? Panda 100HP? Clio 197? If the Corsa is a waste of time, these must be too?

I love the Vectra VXR (OPC). The fact that it's faster than any Mercedes-Benz, Audi or BMW makes it so appealing.

i found it to be better as a tourer than the M5 too in many ways but then i really didn't like the I-drive thing on the M5

Don't worry that's the Astra (I don't like it either). The Vectra has a dual exhaust.

According to Clarky yes, acording to the others not so much.

But since it can do 161mph/260km/h it's irrelevant.

Because you don't need to steer when you're going really really fast.

Ladies and Gentlemen: You'll notice that this particular obnoxious simpleton has been banned for his actions in deliberately trying to insult and provoke on this forum. Initially, this was targetted at myself and so I chose not to respond basically to let him show his true colours...and guess what? He did.

The only reason the above comment was produced was because "Clarkey" knows I like Vauxhalls in general; evidence has proven his claim to be untrue (especially the "overpriced" part).

As for the Vectra VXR: I'll provide you with something worth noting when considering the car's handling abilities:

im thinking he's not just talking about resale value, but bang for your buck (thats how im taking it anyway) so i gotta do it... late 90's/early 2000's NSX- it was 90k and it offered the performance of cars that cost 30k
