Vaux rule Britannia

If you were to split the body of an Opel Astra GTC, he bleeds red, white and blue.

I was the first journalist to get an idea of ​​the new three-door on the road during its official unveiling at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The Astra GTC is one-to-head with the Renault Megane and VW Scirocco coup. It's already on sale, with first deliveries in the fall.

The brilliant news is that this trap has the skilled performance to match its dynamic design. Not only that, but the brain behind this beauty are British.

The Astra GTC crisp, elegant look is down to vice president of Brit Vauxhall / Opel Mark Adams design. And dynamics of the GTC were refined to their testing center of Millbrook.

Gerry Baker, Vehicle Dynamics Manager at Vauxhall, said: .. "We used the UK as the testing ground for the suspension and handling, because we have the best and worst roads here, it was a long and arduous task to get the right set-up There n ' has certainly not done by computer. We have physically tested the car for several hours by comparing multiple set-ups.This included the adoption of HiPerStrut Vauxhall (High Performance Strut) used on the Insignia VXR 325bhp to give it that sporty edge.

[Review]Samsung LND550 series - Best basic LCD TV

The inexpensive Samsung LND550 series evinced good performance for an entry-level non-LED-TV, with deep black levels and ample shadow detail. Its screen was quite uniform, and the matte finish is a boon in bright rooms. Its styling is among the best in its class and its feature set includes media file support and excellent connectivity. The Samsung LND550 `s mix of features, style and picture quality stands tall among the tough entry-level LCD TV crowd. To judge from the LND630 we checked out earlier and the LND550 reviewed here, Samsung`s low-end LCDs are pretty dang good. These non-LED-based models managed deeper black levels than like-priced competitors, and largely avoid the uniformity problems associated with those razor-thin LED-based sets--while costing hundreds less.
