Can't believe this is the 1st Post!

This car is awesome and no one has posted here! This is nuts!

Any way, just to give you a glimpse of the awesomeness of this car and it's styling here is a pic from EVO magazine. I know this is the Vauxhall version, but Vauxhall and Opel worked together to make the Astra and we don't have a Vauxhall forum.

If I get a response, I'll post more pics. I have some of the soon to be released production model too. :D

Heres your response. Belated, but a response nonetheless. The pic you show is hardly representative of this car! Thats a BTCC racer! not the real (and very dull) thing!!

i saw two guys "cruising" in an Astra convertible yesterday.... they were suited (and booted i presume), music pumped up, cheesy grins, they clearly thought they were the sh*t. How i laughed at their pitiful appearance! :hehehe:

btw, Opel = Vauxhall. Theyre one and the same, its just that Opel is called Vauxhall in the UK

Astra Coupe is for the many rather fine car.
Saab made turbo (so at least that in Opel will stay reliable)
Economy is perfect considering power and even then.

However, there is no getting away that rear end looks so prosaic end
boring that really looks like every other Astra.

the ople astra is beyond awesome, can't believe no one has posted.:mad:

Well, thanks for compliments to my nose design, for Astra is not that pretty from factory.

I’m not particularly fond of Astra, but for the value, one could get much worse
:wink:

Even though i've never driven one they are still my fav.
I don't like the astra coupe that come's from the factory that much(the engine is ECOTEC), I only like the DTM race car.400hp is crazy for such a small and light package-the opel astra v8 race car.:smile:

Ecotoec = Saab

I like Ecotec , because it provides me with some promise I might
show some future generations, how does nature actually looks like.

With DTM race engine, they will be able to only read from books
how did nature look today .:mad:


Speed means nothing, it is joy od driving virtues that makes same fun.

Ecotec ain't bad though, i love it too.

I'm glad you think so :smile:

yeah I love the Vauxhall lighting also, look's very futuristic.

Yes,this picture of yours highlights the face even more.

Only problem is that it is not traditional nose look of Opel.

It does have Alfa nose, but , design is not bad at all.:smile:

no, it seem's to wander from the original opel front end design, either way it look's beautiful, it must be a quick car I suppose.:smile:

Absolutely!
:smile: :tongue: :cool: :biggrin: :bigthumb: :iceslolan :cwm27: :lol: :sunglasse

so do you care to join a opel forum?
it's really about the only u.s. forum about opel's in existence, it just started out really, you got pm.:smile:

Yeah..sure...I was a bit disappointed with this one but you've gotta start somewhere.
I'll check the PM now and hit you back!
CL

you'll be more disappointed with the other forum, it's pretty small, hasn't been online that long.

:lol: :lol: It's all good...gotta start somewhere!

yeah i suppose, registation is real cool, just need a username, they email you with the password and then you can change the password, it's cool.

I was wondering how I would log-in...I did the whole registration thing but never had an opportunity to inut a password....
Just waiting on the pw now...
CL:confused:

once you get the password you just go to login on the top right hand of the forum i think, you then go to edit profile and you put your own password.

Finally got the pw..you prob. already saw me log-in....:biggrin:

yeah you got a message from me, you haven't read it yet, go to U2U, i saw you login, make new post's if you like, do whatever you want.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
It took me a little bit to figure it out but I just sent you a message...I actually accidently deleted your message you sent me...:lol: :lol: :lol:

Sweet...I'll e-mail him and see what he says.
