The internet is littered with half-hearted, nonsensical clickbait encomiums to products that have a "notgonnahappen.com" chance of ever coming to our market. But this time, it's different – sort of.
Vauxhall is readying the next Corsa, which will be unveiled next week, and a hot VXR version is all but confirmed for future production. The Corsa VXR will reportedly have more power than the Ford Fiesta ST and the Renaultsport Clio 200, which both put out around 200 horsepower from their 1.6L Turbo 4-cylinder engines.
We will probably never see the Corsa VXR here, since the Corsa rides on a unique platform shared with Fiat and used only for A and B segment Opel/Vauxhall cars. World markets get the Gamma II platform that the Chevrolet Sonic rides on – but there's no reason Chevrolet couldn't copy the formula to create a sport Sonic. How about the all new, 200 horsepower 1.6L Ecotec that's rumored to be in the VXR, and already in the Opel Cascada (in a slightly lower output)?
