thats the monza concept, its been around and about for a while

[Rusty2009]

If thats real which I very much doubt it I wouldn't go anywhere near it.

the monza is real and one has been built in Germany and was shown off in the luton factory this year.
as for what the new astra will look like is anyone's guess
one thing i will say is production is due to start in 2015
so the car may be show cased sometime late this year.
the 1.6 turbo CDTI engine is already in production now
and is still being built along side the 1.7 at the moment
but the 1.7 will be fully removed from the build list this year

wow i kinda like it but parking between two cars could be an issue

Do you think that we could have two reversing lights and two rear fog lights please? I always thought it absolutely stupid to have one of each. When you go abroad you need the single type of lights we have, the other way around. Also seems daft to have to make both right hand versions of both light units then also make left hand versions of both units as well.

I am a grate believer in standardisation. I also think this is the time to start asking Vauxhall to start listening to the customer about the next car; after all we are going to be the ones who are going to buy them if they listen to us, then give us what we want.

very good point one reverse light is totally useless
and one fog looks odd

something i would like to see on the next astra is
the hyper strut making its way to the 5 door
and the massively heavy rear axle being replaced for the insignia one.
