Thoughts? Opinions?
I think it looks much like a mini Insignia from behind and the interior 
I really like them

Exterior's just a mix of wavy lines and wierd angles.
Interior is stunning, even if the centre console has more buttons than my keyboard.

I quite like this. What the hell are all those buttons for though?
Edit: Why is there no three door option?

I agree, like the standard Astra H boggo spec looks shit, but the SRi's etc look brilliant in comparison.
I guess I'll like it more when the 3dr is launched maybe

I knew it reminded me of something! I'm not too keen on it to be honest, although it may grow on me, not on my head, as you may wish.

Drives really well. Interior is/felt cramped although on paper it's comparable to the mk5. Only driven the 1.6 turbo, would have preffered a diesel lump

Looks alot like a megane from the back, looks a bit soft compared to the strong angles on the old one. Interior looks good though.

Or it was costing them too much in warranty claims!
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Jesus Christ where do you imbeciles get your information from?
Barnes, yawn.
The next generation Astra VXR is a 2.0 16v Turbo, same as before with a slight power hike. I'll find the thread on VXRonline with the interview with Stuart Harris the VXR brand manager.
Warranty claims?
