Discuss!


I reckon its wicked!

Anyone remember the 1993 film demolition man? Well you may or may not know this, but the cars in the film were GM's (who own vaux) concept cars of the time! and now they are starting to appear on the roads (allbeit far more developed!)

WRONG arsehole. Coupe is STRICTLY a concept according to Opel. The bottom pic closely resembles the concept which was designed by OPC.

But we can both agree that its just a concept yes? It will never reach production line since Vauxhall and Opel have released official final spec pictures.

To be fair, a few months back, there was a couple of pages in Total Vauxhall, and that showed the top pic, and said that was the new Mk5 Astra in development.

Who's gonna be more informed: A third party magazine, who may have slated the company, or A Vauxhall funded magazine?

well, i can agree that it may well be a concept, but in my opinion it doesnt differ in style much from the other official pics, and I cannot see the coupe (when released) looking dis-similar to it!
