Women's car insurer Corsa-ing you to take note!

Here it is ladies, what you've all been waiting for, (so women's car insurer Girlmotor.com have been told anyhow)...you can take your blindfolds off now, and your handcuffs, and..what exactly have you been doing enquire women's car insurer Girlmotor.com...whilst Vauxhall have been redesigning the new Corsa? Nevermind. Girlmotor.com, as women's car insurers, doesn't want to know. Yet Girlmotor.com (yes, you're keeping up now - 'the women's car insurer') have something here that you are gagging to know about. And the women's car insurer, who's G**lmotor.com (I best censor it before I'm arrested by the product placement police) is not going to demand a ransom in order to release this information. So here it is. Dah dah!

Ok, seeing as we've got no imagery to accompany all my words yet, you might have to use your imagination for a little while longer, whilst I draw a mental picture for you. Close your eyes. Again. And think of the old Corsa. Right. Now think of the old Corsa, but slightly longer. 3.99 metres longer according to my pencil. And ever so slightly wider. Again, my sketching ability shows that its 1.71 metres wider. Sympathising with its potential owners, the old girl has put on a few extra pounds over the winter, but, unlike them, still manages to look good on it. Men being men (i.e., liking the sound of their own voices a little too much) they've gone overboard with certain descriptions though. General Motors' (Vauxhall's mummy and daddy) engineers in Germany being the main offenders here when talking about the chassis' 'top levels of dynamic ability and agility' and the 'featuring of enhanced understeer control'. (EUC) Designed and developed by Hans and Hans' mate, also probably called Hans, they should at least have a clue what they're talking about, unlike British men. But they really overstep the mark when chatting on about its 'variable progressive sports power steering' (which is apparently designed to afford us girls greater levels of feedback on the road) which lightens up when used in urban areas. I think they mean tight spots in car parks. We could be wrong. Speaking, as they are still, about lightness, and yes, being all girly and offering the most tedious of links, the interior you'll be pleased to know is light to. Thanks to translucent control knobs and switches that glow in the dark. Really. They illuminate in unison with your headlamps when you flick the switch, making them well easier to find. When it's dark that is. Obviously, in the daytime.yeah, anyway.moving on.

But staying inside. And demonstrating typical girl indecision in but two sentences, you'll notice a lot more space than in the previous Corsa. Well, you would if the boss lets me paste pictures on this site one day soon. And then use fewer words. Which would be better all round. Yep, the stretched wheelbase combined with the wider track goes some way to emphasising more leg and shoulder room. Unless you're an upcoming episode of 'You Are What You Eat'. In which case you'll be stumped.

There's a whole host of specifications that will encourage you to stick to your G.I diet plan so as to explore when the Cora's official launch takes place, (at the British Motor Show in July) and thereafter in a showroom near you come the autumn. And needless to say, prices will also become available nearer the time to. What Girlmotor.com do know however, is that initially there will be 5 engines to choose from. In petrol form they'll be the 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4; a common-rail diesel utilising GM's 1.3litre CDTi unit, and a range topping 1.7litre (125ps) CDTi.

Keeping your eyes tightly squeezed shut, and putting your mind into overdrive, imagine if you can girl friends Halogen Adaptive Forward Lighting, (AFL) another intriguing acronym that this time purports to alter the light beam in accordance with both cars speed, and steering input. Be impressed. I'd be extremely impressed if you could visualise something like that. Aswell as an infotainment system boasting MP3 compatibility and Bluetooth phone connectivity to keep you gassing on the move. Only within the letter of the law. And if you really want to look the part next season girls, then there will be a lowered sports chassis variant, complete with 17" alloy wheels to get you in the mood. The party mood perhaps. Which returns us to the dangerous ground hinted at in the intro.

Well, there's nothing dangerous about women's car insurance. Not if you snap up Girlmotor.com's version of women's car insurance events anyhow. Girlmotor.com are waiting on your call right now.
