what the hell are you on about frugal one? stop spamming up all the threads

PoinsonEagle – yes it does have IRS, its build off an entirely new platform so it won’t share very much at all with the current model.

Style wise, it appears to be a curvier version of the current one, which itself was a curvier version of the model before! Opel must be following a similar path here to VW with the golf. The only thing i hope with the new one is that they finally have the reliability drama’s sorted out! I know those problems have prevented plenty of owners upgrading to the newer version (myself included, i had an ‘02 version which i replaced with a lancer due to the poor reliability of the astra)

It looks a little boring, but I guess I need to wait until they slip off those pajamas and I can see the finished product in the nude.

EscortGhia…

I agree, the basic shape and proportions aren’t too disimiliar to the current attractive shape.

i’ve driven the current astra hatch and coupe many times and find them to be an enjoyable drive.

Looks very Renault from the front and very Peugeot from the rear…

First time I’ve seen a new TwinTop variant mentioned too…

I thought Astra made big heavy-duty trucks?
