It's called an Opel ;D
(Where did they ever come up with Vauxhall, the man was actually Called Adam Opel).

Yeah I know but where I stay we don't get Opels. Hadn't looked at the badges just recognised the body's.

The only difference between opel and vauxhall is the engine.
Yeah the corsa is a nice reliable and very fuel-efficient car. Not my ideal car but i'll do me for now.

whats the differences in engine?

s_k · 12-28-2010, 06:08 PM

There is no difference. The only difference is the name.
It's just called Vauxhall in the UK and Holden in Australia.

There's some strange things with the types, too.
The astra is called astra since 1991, here. Before that it was called Kadett.
The old Kadetts (before 197xsomething) were called Viva there.
Then there's the Cavalier, which is called Ascona here.
And yeah, the Vauxhall Nova is called Corsa here.
And so on.
It's pretty weird.

A vauxhall is basically an opel only with a vauxhall-made engine and rebadged. At least to my knowledge anyway.

FETCHER. · 12-28-2010, 06:12 PM

Never even heard of a Vauxhall Nova. Must be a corsa here. I HATE corsas. I know more than the average "female" about cars as both my brothers have been mechanics and one still is! One worked for Vauxhall which is where my hatred comes from haha. Ford for the win!

I never liked the looks of the corsa shown above, but it rides pretty well I must say.
I like boxy cars. Like the Volvo 144 or the Renault 5.
So I also like the first series of corsa's
