Here it is.

My guess is the OZ spec will have the Coupe tailights, well, all of them will on the 7.5 spec.

No brainer really.

If you have a look at the pics of all AH7.5 Astra 5 doors they have coupe styled taillights now

seeing as it appears to be very conservative in its styling.... would make a great Q Car :D

its a 20/20 catch situation when it comes to 5dr Turbo Astra being released here...will it be profitable? will it take sales away from 3dr Turbo and can it be put against Mazda 3 MPS, VW GTi and Ford XR5 (price and features wise) ???

i like it, many people would want a 5dr Turbo car...personally, i prefer to have a 3dr Turbo hatch for power and N\A 5dr family hatch for practicality.

Same engine in a heavier chassis.... And motoring journalists are bashing the 3dr for not being able to compete against the others..... *shudders at the thought of the scathing review*

It sure will be interesting to see how well this version would sell, if introduced here.....

As others have said, in terms of performance it will be well behind all the other sport Astras in the Holden range and won't have a chance of competing against the likes of Xr5, MPS 3 and Gti - 5 door turbo hatches.....

It's only strong point IMO compared to it's competition, would be it's price tag.

XR5 is no horn invoking car anyway...I can't see too many informed people buying an XR5 over that. GTI and MPS 3 is another story.
