How long until we see widearched Astras, Peugeots and MGs in the dealerships? The 'Touring' special edition...
2-litre 16-valve engines with about 160 bhp, six-speed boxes and 17inch alloys (black, of course!) Or will they wait and see if the championship or even the individual cars are successful? |

Be nice, wouldn't it? I'd just go along to the dealers to sit in one even though I'm not aged to drive.

Yes, this is what I have said before.
All manufacturers want to sell more cars and will only promote something if it generates sales. BMP also know this and thats why they have changed the rules. Now many people did'nt go out on sunday and by a Mondeo and slap some 19's on cos they seen Menu win on sunday. But know with a cheaper motor such as the Astra Coupe and 17's you bet there will be loads about. MGRover have already started with the X20, and now they have linked up with prodrive for the X10. |
