The new Saab 9-3 range made its public debut at the 2007 Frankfurt motor show. The new 9-3 line-up consists of the saloon, the sport wagon estate and the uber-stylish convertible. Alongside the new Saab models comes four replacement variant forms the ‘Airflow’, the Linear SE updating the previous Linear Sport, the Vector Sport, the ‘Aero’ and a limited edition Turbo X designed to evoke the iconic appeal of the first black 900 Turbo and showcases the latest XWD technology. The mostly turbo-charged engine line-up include a new high performance diesel, using the low-emission twin-turbo 1.9TTiD (180 PS) unit and an innovative BioPower engine that runs on bioethanol (E85) or unleaded petrol.
Apparently 2000 modifications have been made across the range, although at a glance most of the body changes appear in the front portion with the Aero-X inspired clamshell bonnet, eyeball headlamp clusters and re-designed bumpers which give an all-round ‘cleaner’ more assertive feel. In short its definitely worth a look at if your in the market for an Audi or BMW 3 series.

Wondering about a hot hatch? Wondering which one to get? You could go far to consider a brand new kid on the block, the new Vauxhall Corsa VXR is one of the latest cars to get Vauxhalls ‘heat- treatment’. The hot new Corsa VXR does have a lot to prove in this competitive market it’s a three-door pocket rocket powered by a 1.6 16v ECOTEC-4 Turbo engine, this super mini will take you from 0-60 in 6.8 seconds and onto a max speed of 140mph, not bad but is it enough to win over avid Renault Clio RS 197bhp supporters or the Mini Cooper with the less powerful 172bhp engine but with uber-cool styling notwithstanding the fact that it’s a BMW, well yes it can!
The body shape is very tight; it’s a nice little car, a good run-around with a middleweight punch combined with lowered sports suspension, big high performance brakes, traction control and the VXR signature styling and it could be a real market contender.

You have to look twice at the new Meriva VXR from Vauxhall, its no vanilla family car in fact under the bonnet is a track born 1.6i 16v turbo-charged 180PS engine that launches you to 60mph in 7.9 seconds and onto a top speed where permitted- ah-ha! of 140mph. In fact the new Meriva VXR has quite a few little sporty surprises up its sleeve, the 17-inch six-spoke alloy wheels, the Recaro sports seats with leather-trimmed side bolsters and lumbar adjustment, the branded honeycombe front grille and air dam, not forgetting the points that make it a versatile everyday car with some modern added features, the remote control ultrasonic security alarm system and an MP3 compatible CD player.
Innovation has also been an integral part of the car whilst keeping a close eye on costs examples items includes a halogen version of Vauxhall’s innovative Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) that changes the direction of maximum light intensity depending on speed and steering direction and uber-convenient power release tailgate and remote controlled interior courtesy lighting. Handy, versatile and fairly understated.
