Well I never taught I would agree with Opel on this but they have really produced a great car with the new Astra. Nice exterior and interior and available in 1.4 / 1.6 / Turbo petrol models, and 1.3 / 1.7 and 2.0 CDTI Ecotec models. It's all presented on this very nice site they put together.

The last Astra wasn't bad either and a significant improvement deisgn-wise over previous models

looks nice but its nothing new, they are merely playing catch up to the other manufacturers. It looks very MK2 SEAT Leon/altea to me, hardly breaking new ground.
