Oh wow, I really love that! I'm a huge fan of Seats designs, and I think they did an awesome job with this concept! The current Ibiza, while getting quite old, still looks very good... this new one, though, is very hot! Love that interior too.

Looks like a Suzuki Reno to me.

YOU look like a Suzuki Ren..

Sorry about that. Actually, yeah, kinda. Lets hope it comes out a little crisper than it looks in those pics... I suspect the shrink-wrap is just a little tight! Redesigning the Astra must be daunting... last year it managed to top the Golf in several months... it's incredibly popular and has to appeal in so many regions of the world.

...and it is GM best selling car ever if you including all generation and rebadges.

Hopefully the rear quarter panel blindspot isn't as massive once the camo comes off. Other then that, I can't judge to much based on these pictures. But it is great to know it's in the pipeline!!!

I like what I see. Let's just hope the US gets a much needed twin top and Redline.

BTW, is the next. generartion going to be build in the US?

The next generation Astra is supposed to move to the Saturn plant in Tennessee, because of the weakening of the US dollar it would be cheaper to build the car here then import it from Europe because of how strong the Euro is

If this is true and hoping will happen (which will help Gm), does anyone think that moving Astra product to the US we'll see different variations of the Astra for Saturn? ei twintop, sedan, redline?

It is possible, I am sure we will see the Red Line since Saturn makes a Red Line of pretty much everything, even the Vue, and the Outlook needs one as well with a DI turbo engine.

He was speaking of SEAT, VW's Spanish car brand.

SEAT has some good designs, but so does Skoda, VW's Eastern European brand
