The side shot looks like it has the lines of the Insignia

Re: Opel Astra Spy Video

Definitely pretty fast for a car it's size around the Nurburgring. The car also very well planted going into those tight turns. Can't wait to see the new Opel Astra/Saturn Astra without the camo.

Re: Opel Astra Spy Video

I didn't become a professional drive because? That looked like fun!

I couldn't tell much from the video except I hope they offer nicer wheels. I loved the Paint job as I've been waiting since the 50's for two tone to make a comeback. Kidding.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire Uzzy.

Re: Opel Astra Spy Video

Nice dash. Needs some colour, but very nice.

It has a nice profile. It should do well as a Saturn, assuming GM decides to actually market the thing.

Re: Opel Astra Spy Video

Oh no, it kind of looks like the chop on the GMI homepage. I was hoping that the new Astra did not look like that and that the chop was just wrong.

It seems to have no aggressiveness anymore...the shape has become too feminine IMO.
