Either my internet isn't working properly, or all previous posts have been removed... but there's been more pictures released of the next Astra:

Couple of points to note:
"What caught our eye are two buttons on the top of the centre stack. One on the right reads "Tour" and the one on the left reads "Sport." While an adaptive suspension seems like a pricey feature for such a low cost car, those buttons may very well control such a system.
There also seems to be (at least) 1 proper cupholder behind the gearshift, as well as a sliding covered compartment behind that. From what i can see it also looks to have a centre console as well.
The variable intermittent wipers now look to have a (much simpler) dial which as part of the indicator arm which you just twist
Although Auto headlights are available overseas, hopefully they'll become standard (you can see it on the headlight switch)
One ommission (and possibly the reason for the cupholders now existing), is what looks to be an electronic handbrake. The button is just behind the gearlever.
The main centre screens also differ in size. In some spy pics its small, in others it's a lot bigger
I also hope that's Independant Rear Suspension i see...
