2005 Vauxhall Signum (1.9 CTDi 150 Exclusiv)
On the face of things, the Vauxhall Signum appears to be just a variation on the Vauxhall Vectra. It shares the longer wheelbase platform of the Vectra estate, some five inches longer than the saloon and five-door hatch body styles...

2005 Vauxhall Monaro (5.7i V8)
The Ford versus Holden battle runs long and deep through history with the legendary Bathurst touring car races being the annual slugfest for supremacy. Ford's Falcon battles with Holden's Commodore, and it's essentially the Commodore we have to thank for the car you see here, the Monaro.

2005 Vauxhall Tigra (Road test - Mk2 1.4i 16v Sport)
Having spent a glorious hot summer week driving around in Vauxhall's new Tigra, I found myself imagining one of the early meetings in the car's development. Up the front sit the eager stylists and roof mechanism designers.

2005 Vauxhall Astra (Road test - Mk5 Sport Hatch 1.9 CDTi SRi)
When you test such a wide variety of cars as we do here at the The Car Enthusiast, it can take a couple of days with a car to get away from comparing it to the last car tested.

2004 Vauxhall VX220 (Road test - VX220 Turbo)
It is so difficult to write about Vauxhall's VX220 without a reference to the hallowed Lotus Elise. Both were developed by Lotus engineers and, engine aside, share a significant number of major components. On the face of it, sibling rivalry could lead to hostilities within the family. Not in this report though.
