To celebrate the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa that will kick off in Johannesburg's Soccer City Stadium on June 11th, Opel has released a limited edition version of its Corsa supermini dedicated to the German national soccer team. For the record the Germans were drawn into Group D where they will play their three first round matches against Australia, Serbia and Ghana.
But back to the Corsa, the German-market "Football Championship Edition" features the traditional colors of the country's soccer team combining a white paint job with stripes that run from the hood to the rear quarter window and also cover the exterior mirrors, and a set of 17-inch alloy wheels finished in black.
The special edition Corsa also gets dark tinted headlights and tail lights, sport seats, aluminum pedals, leather steering wheel and center console in piano black.
Air conditioning, stereo CD radio with steering wheel controls, electric windows and central locking with remote control are standard.
Prices for the new Corsa Football Championship Edition start from €15,160 for 87HP 1.4-liter Ecotec model.

You are getting bored with small cars because you probably never drove one, but they are very fun to drive!!

Its Football not soccer.
Front wheel drive sucks... Wish all car companies would start making RWD small cars...
"Front wheel drive sucks... Wish all car companies would start making RWD small cars..."
You know...there's something called "Driveshaft". This is complicated, so bear with me. It goes all the way from the engine to the rear axle in all rear wheel drive cars. This "Driveshaft" takes space and most of the time it's located in a sort of tunnel that runs along the car's floor. Since this "tunnel" for the "Driveshaft" takes space (revolting theory, I know), it would make small cars pretty crammed inside.
Besides, I would like to see you driving a Focus RS and saying it "Sucks".

Your whole argument is only on drivetrain packaging!?! Screw you!
You're acting (childishly) like the driveshaft tunnel takes up an overwelming percentage of the interior space; so much so that it makes it 'cramp'.
Bullshit. A driveshaft tunnel is no more intrustive than the exhaust tunnel on a FWD car.
FWD IS BULLSHIT and is a hack-eye excuse for just to save money.
Mind you, I am trying to convince a child like youself who sniggers at the phrase 'driveshaft tunnel'.
Moron.
I think anonymous above said it all... :P
"FWD IS BULLSHIT and is a hack-eye excuse for just to save money." <-- this is the main reason FWD cars exist ;)
