Astra Mk6 Lexmaul

[Wraith]

Wish you guys would stop teasing us with pix of an Astra we will never see in Oz!

In my opinion looks pretty good in standard trim . . . this version just makes it look even better. Better "face" than the Insignia (which I don't mind) and much, much cleaner lines (even in stock trim) than the 3!

+ 1 totally agree on all counts...

I prefer the mazda 3 mps..dont mind the eye lashes on the astra..not so sure about the bits stuck on each side of the bumper to make it sporty...needs a nicer looking front bumper I reckon. Love the wheels and side profile.

As you know I too love the new MPS3 but this new AJ is definitely better looking IMHO...

However unlike the AJ we do have full access to the Mazda 3 range and I believe we will eventually see the MPS3 here in a greater colour selection (as is available for the lesser siblings) which should do wonders to its looks, especially in metallic/pearl white

nice lookin, is that audi r8 style leds in the headlights or just a line?

That's a good question...they look like just lines - BUT from 2012 onwards ALL new manufactured cars will have DDL's as standard by law !!! so they could very well be LEDS in there

My question on those same headlights is why are there 2 projector lamps in there ???

Most if not all newer designs have only one, the high beam being taken care of by a standard reflector or by the same 'single' projector with a Bi Xenon globe...

Could just be a chop job thing...

Where is this stated?

It's been discussed on the Audi forums...

Alot of people there 'not happy' that in time ALL cars will have those good looking DRL's which currently set Audis apart

Hell I'd be wrapped just to have an Audi full stop...ie. a good a proper new Audi

If I can find the link to the actual article I'll post it up
