    this is awesome news that the full OPC range is coming to Australian 1st QTR of 2013.
    You thinking of updating yours Shaun ?

    Never!

    I wonder if Opel will make AWD versions of the Astra in years to come... There is only so much wizardry you can do to reduce torque steer and with 400Nm on offer...

    Why is everyone so Hung up on torque steer. If its such a problem go to the gym and gain some mussles and grab hold of the steering wheel...

    Kabel ill decide when the pricing is announced later this year. I need to how much they are 1st then decide from there. An Insignia OPC would be nice and a good step up from the HSV VXR i have now.

    Breaking News: Full OPC line up set to heat up Australian roads in 2013

    Opel called me to update me the arrival on the OPC. I already know the OPC will be coming to Aus in March. Not to be rude but seems dealers aren't as up to date as actual motoring/car enthusiasts but anyway, dealers are going to Syd or Melb in a few weeks to drive and check out the OPC range. Take it for training.... Launch of the OpC range will be in March but don't know prices.

    Two things I'd like to know. Price on OPC Insignia Tourer as well the Fuel consumption per/100km.

    I'll wait until 2014 to get one, perhaps a demo might be avail for $45-50k rather then full asking price of estimates of $60k+ as media have said.

    Dealer also mentioned they're getting 30 OPC's in stock once they're available.. I take it a mix of the 3 models!

    The cars are in Melbourne, and 30 is the first shipment of Astra's (at a guess)

    I think I saw a Red OPC Astra on the road the other day with the 19s (not 20s) off Chapel St
    Was going too quick to confirm/photo but definitely saw the front bar and the lack of the aero pack (additional rear wing)
