Testing with the 290ps motor, although doesn't show much lol.

And here's the footage from the shot at the ring. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/au...spy_video.html

Looks like some decent work has been done on the suspension, looks very composed through the corners.

Look at the rake angle of that front windshield...very sleek

i think the camo colouring helps with that. when its a flat colour all around, will look not as angled

Probably so...

Can't wait to see these in the metal and as per the other thread the Scirocco as well, what a hard choice it will end up being if you could actually be in a position to buy one

i dunno about you guys but all i saw was understeer the rear end never slipped at all

That's a typical trait of all Opels...

Astra VXR is really bad on that one and the Vecce C OPC model didn't want to turn at all at high cornering speeds LOL

Shouldn't be a prob for 99% of street usage anyway and none of these are track cars, also each new model will be better than the last in handling capability

GTC gets released end of may i think it was so few months after that.. guessing end of 2011



on another note






EDS tuned turbo astra j making 360hp

Every road based car is actually designed to understeer though to teach people who can't drive where the limits are. Much less chance of crashing and injury than if a car was setup to oversteer.
