It would seem that the noises coming from Germany are that the Astra will have a coupe version, which will be called...

Calibra

Next gen Astra looks very Daewoo IMO. That has some nice lines but it's too early to know if it'll ever make it to production.

Looks pretty swish. Side profile looks like it could be a bit Aston-ish, which is always good

ford made and tested a focus rs 4wd version, then realised it didn't need it


love the new astra very smart and ''premium'' look it has.

It will be based on the GM Delta II platform, same as the new Astra.

No mention of 4WD capablities at the moment.

I'm sure the Insignia is actually gonna be 4wd though...

I think that new Calibra looks pretty damm good actually. I agree about the aston look (in the rear 1/4 anyway).

its a shame the build quality and well longevity of the car wont be half as good as the old vauxhalls

get a new car add 100k plus to it and 15 years. no chance will it still be around.

I don't know Adam. Look at some of these 3 year old private hire taxi's that have 150k - 200k on the clock.

Was speaking to a guy this weekend that had one of those Renault Laguna things that had 160k on the clock on a 53 plate. He said he's had if from new and had no issues with the engine or geekbox. He had only really had the pads and discs done and had an issue with the key a few times.
