Opel (and thus, Vauxhall) announced on Tuesday that a replacement for its B-segment hatch will be on the market by the end of 2014.
Marking the fifth-generation of Corsa model, Opel hints the all-new Corsa E will ride on an all-new chassis and employ the company’s latest 1.0-liter ECOTEC gas engine that pushes 115-horsepower through a new six-speed manual transmission. The statement paid no mention of an automatic variant, but it’s about as safe a bet as the sun rising in the morning that there will be one.
Nevertheless, the company notes that four test Corsa E’s were driven through Germany’s Palatinate region. Two current generation Corsa D’s were also used for comparison: a 100-horsepower 1.4-liter model and a 120-horsepower 1.4 Turbo model.
Opel says the new car is a “huge leap” over the current Corsa, with Mark Adams recently telling Auto Express that the new car’s interior will be one of the best in its class. From the teaser photos, all we can tell is that the new Corsa E will feature a front fascia similar to that of the small Adam. However, there more revealing photos on the internet that reveal the subcompacts new look in the buff.
Fortunately, Europeans will soon find out if the company’s claims are true. As for us North Americans, we can only cross our fingers that GM brings it across the pond sporting a Buick badge.

Been a long time coming, shame its an anti-climax. Cannot see past the car is a thoroughly updated Corsa D and not a totally fresh and new generation.
Car takes a long time to launch. they will always be slightly behind the times in its innovations. They should take their innovations to market faster, at least bring. Adam Rocks and Adam’s as well. Should have long been available. many others have already come to similar products on the market, and sales and lost interest. there are things to do in the case of Opel’s wrath.
I am a lover of Opel in your heart.
CORSA-E show right away for the people of decent pictures and talk. they want to make things interesting but sometimes people do not have to like it.
OPEL ASTRA OPC Extreme-people are already fed up with it. So much has been said and allowed the OPC but nothing outrageous.
CORSA E is not entirely new. It is difficult to talk about the situation, if he is new but it is not 100% new and unprecedented. a lot sooner this Act, the rear lights and a lot of borrowed parts. Certainly, he can be very good, but people must speak the right thing.
GM and Opel, and want to understand the economic situation and Parana, however, and people are not fools. people can see and understand everything well.
OPEL CORSA E rear third brake light is so ugly. moodsammaks things very simple things could change, however, has not changed, and these things will stand out.
IF THERE IS hard to WAS prettier Third brake lamp design.
See for yourself the pictures of the Corsa email. would have been the third piduritulke better design, and it would also be very much changed.
Opel long long talked about a lot of their MATRIX lights but still nothing. Other manufacturers have already put such small cars. Citroen DS3
Opel Corsa OPC E be after 5 years ? Opel Corsa E OPC have long been tested and shown before, even if the conventional models.
How long are going to be e Corsa E now on sale yet keep it
