I'm sure Ste knew that as well.

Incidentally, it wasn't just the mk2, the mk1 and mk3 were also Kadetts, as were 3 models before the mk1 Astra.

yep, and the mk1 is also classed at the "D"....... So where did A, B and C go?

Didn't think the mk3 was a kadett too.

Well in spainish Nova means No-Go...... therefore why would Opel call thier car the "no go"!
