    The NEW Astra

    Had a look at this today in the local Network-Q


    http://www.vauxhall.com/assets/futur...e9_800_600.jpg


    looks fliipin beautiful. has a touch of german in there i think (a3 any1?), yet looks sporty and french (is taht a fiat Stilo )

    The 3 door will be bloody sexual i think.

    Finally, a well designed Vauxhall!

    That is pretty fantastic, I think it would tempt me. Any details on engines or spec?

    The styling is better than most of the old vauxhalls i have to say. the 2.0 16v turbo sounds like fun

    Looks reasonable, bit focus esque body shape?

    Shame its a Vauxhall, otherwise i'd probably consider owning one. Turbo 2.0 sounds good, but then so does the Focus Cosworth, Fabia vRS, Alfa 147 et al

    Nothing special IMO.

    That Giant should watch where he's putting his feet !

    Can't go around standing on Corsa's and squashing them like that

    And it looks more like a nissan than an Alfa, doesn't have the Alfa stance
