Vauxhall didn't sell many green Astra VXRs. Heaven knows why...
VXR has always been a brand of hits and misses. The Corsa VXR, for instance, always had a place alongside the Ford Fiesta ST and Renaultsport Clios as a rorty, boisterous hot hatch that flipped a middle finger to its rivals' more focused demeanour. On the other hand, there was the Vectra. A car I’m sure many will have of weird soft spot for but, let’s be honest, it was a load of rubbish. And the less said about the Meriva VXR, the better.
Arguably the car that absolutely nailed the VXR formula was Vauxhall’s beefed-up Astra GTC. Swollen wheel arches and a small roof spoiler upped the aggression over the standard car, while 20-inch wheels and shiny trim on the front bumper added a touch of sophistication. It was a more cohesive design, too, rather than the bolt-on body kit look of most other VXRs . Vauxhall did offer a non-aero kit variant with smaller wheels, but that appealed to practically no one and hardly any were sold.
