    Looks like a Seat Leon to me. Which is not a bad thing btw. The current Astra design looked dated as soon as it was launched imo. That new one is a big improvement.

    Reminds me of the Mazda 3 from the side. Looks good alright.

    The current Astra is very handsome IMO, even in 5-door form. This is an evolution, no bad thing. Better than the Insignia I think...

    Its a big improvement imo.

    Opel seem to be on a roll these days. The Insignia, had it been brought out a year earlier would have wiped the floor with the Mondeo.

    I'd like to see the new 3 door coupe...

    Looks like a widened, lengthened flattened Corsa.

    Not necessarily a bad thing. Easily identifiable as a successor to the current model.

    Think it has a bit of the Megane the more I look at it.

    I'd be a bit concerned that the 3 door wont be as well differentiated from the 5 door as it is now - could cost buyers of the current model maybe?

    Side profile of a leon and the bonnet is near the exact same as a megane?? all the best parts of the cars in this division wrapped into one.

    very nice

    Looks like a Kia Cee'd from the side... And something else that's gone from my head.


    I hate autocar, lol.
