Tend to agree with shane on this one.

Looks like a pretty lazy photo chop to me.
The side angle is pure Astra H. The doors, mirriors and all the car's lines have just been cut and pasted straight from an H.
The front also carries over strong influence from the H, such as the ridge in the bonnet, the lower part of the bumper and fog lights, even the upper half of the head lights. The only really interesting thing is plastic insert on top of the windshield... what the?

Looks like a Beemer, looks good though!

[mykk]

meh dont like it, i personally think astras have been getting uglyier as the models progress. imo the best looking is the astra g.

[ROCCO]

Definitly a new astra....look closely at pic 2 you can see the badge....maybe a series 2 version??

Looking at the front guards and the lines of the doors, yes I would agree that its just an update of the current version. There dosn't appear to be too many modifications to the sheet metal at the front, mainly plastic. The rear however is quite different, when comparing to the current model.

yeah i know ones a hatch and the other is a wagon..

i was just saying they are the same pic just reveresed..

haha i knew after i posted that someone would kindly point that out..

[ROCCO]

With regards to the rear....the lights and the tail of the hatch look different bu the looking specially at the lights they look interchangeable i.e. same sort of shape as the current model. Hence series 2. But it does look very similar in shape to the BMW 1 series

indeed... first thing i thought.. with diff badging

[bill142]

In the third pic it looks very audi-ish

I wouldn't get too excited about that guys, as stated earlier, it's just a photoshop edited Astra H.

True, but the question to be asked is the next Astra going to be based on the current platform or will a new one be introduced?

[tmov81]

its pug style where the a pillars connect to the front guards and looks heaps better than the beemer 1 series IMO...

love the fat dish in the third pic... looks like the offset is a little more aftermarket rim friendly from opel :)

i think its a lot chunkier than the 118i/120i BMW which seems to be the peugeot lead trend at the moment... (could be wrong that pug started it, but the 207/307/407 pugs seemed to be the first ones i noticed with the chunkiness)

to be honest though if someone showed me that pic and said it was the current astra i would believe them... i dont really remember what they look like to the level of detail these pics seem to have modded it, havent seen that many around... (other than that roof bump thingy it has :S)

[Wraith]

Agree with mixmelb, looks like the current car with some Beemer styling thrown in...........

Dosn't really cut it for me though.

I would have expected the new model to be heaps better/different than that, just like the AH upgrade over the TS.
