    New Astra.....

    .....really is the dogs

    Just stuck a 1.6 16v SXI on the road as a demo.....and its.....just not Vauxhall

    which is good

    Its quite amazing how far they've gone with this tool......it has NO Vauxhall-ness at all.....all bar Signum/Vectra influence.

    The Alloys on this model, as standard, are Venom look-a-likes...not my style really, but suit the purposefull arches and the car looks....

    good

    really good......looking forward to running her in

    first thought was MEGANE.. and then it shouted CORSA at me, then I though... MASSIVE CORSA.. looks good tho I have to admit..... it doesn't look at all like previous cars... even the new corsa has a nodding aquaintance with it's predeccesor... nice motor
