So then, what car are you buying next?

The RS sounds insane! If the GTI isnt due till next summer you can bet the R & RS will be twelve months ater that.

New R is due in September 2012 291bhp and 298lbft

5 months from now?? they are avin a laff!!!!

Any idea if that going to be the same engine as the current R ?

I would put loads of money on that the MK7 will NOT have the "old" engine.

CAR Magazine this month has done a comparison on the Astra GTC VXR, Focus ST and an artists impression of the MK7. Personally I hope it will look more radical that what they envisage because you've gotta give GM credit as the GTC looks tidy and will be a strong contender in the hot hatch niche. Not sure about the ST as the version photographed has too many doors.

i wouldn't put loads of money on Vw not using the current engine knowing them, but id be interested to see what different engine they would use, maybe a detuned TTRS engine at the rumoured 291 bhp ?

I'm sure I read in that article that the ST would only come as a 5 door.

Yeah that's true, Ford have stated the ST will only come in a 5 door

The Mk3 Focus ST will be available as a 5 door hatch and as an estate (wagon).

In the past I had 5 Vauxhall cars and they were all pretty good cars, admittedly tho the build quality compared to German cars is crap.

If you think VW's CS is bad VX is ten times worse  . I used to have a Corsa years ago oil leaks I wouldn't go near them , my next motor after that was CTR Vtec engin was awsome
