    How great does that look with the more pronounced front and rear wheel arch flares. It certainly looks tougher than the regular GTC so can't wait for it to arrive here. My cheque book is armed and ready!

    I hope they bring some sort of performance variant of the Astra in a 5 door

    I would expect the best you'll get in the 5 door range is a 1.6 turbo SRi. Like previous models the OPC will be 3 door only.

    It's a shame if they do - from everything we're reading in the motoring press it seems that they want to take the fight to VW - and VW have Golf GTI's and Golf R's as 5 door hatches.

    Had a look on the german opel website, and you can' seem to configure a 5 door or wagon Astra in anything more than a 1.6 Turbo (132kw) Click here to enlarge

    It really is a shame they don't do anything more in the 5 door - I can't live with a 3 door - too impractical.

    Yeah I knew you meant the H series, they used to OPC variants on a lot of models (even on the Meriva!!!) but not anymore.

    If they did an OPC Astra wagon I wouldn't even think twice about getting one.
