So what happened to the Astra-I?

I'm sure I read somewhere that they never use the letter I in the models. Can't remember the reason and can't find the information I read either :(

Got a reply from Vauxhall will post it later once I'm at the desktop.

but the I could be confused with a 1 so they went to J.

Okay , we are currently on the Astra MK6 , also known as the J . However , J is the 10th letter of the alphabet which means , there are other letters unaccounted for . Am I right ?

I did assume that the omission of the I was due to confusion with 1 , as I isn't used on registrations for similar reasons . .

A to E were used for the Kadet by Opel
