That interior console doesnt look very used friendly! The interior looks uninviting too...rather technical and uncomfortable.
Did any of the turbo guys notice the solid looking hosing between the intercooler and intake?
But will we get any of that? It would price the Astra too high above the market: Astra's kill it at the moment because of their features for the pricing.
I have a distinct feeling this will go the way of the Vectra and prices will be $$$ and the only people buying will be those who want a cheaper 147 or 307: niche indeed.
Hot car though, I love it.

Yeah i noticed it :P they probly now realise that it needs a solid pipe
I reckon the interior looks great personally - hopefully the plastic will be as good as that in the Vectra rather than the cheap hard rubbish that lots of recent Euro cars have come with. (In my opinion, the Alfa 156 currently has the worst plastic of any car on the market).
If they're the performance figures for the low-blow turbo then that's a good thing (Guess my mental HP to kW conversion must have been off). Wonder if we will see a five door turbo here? That's something that would tempt me.

"coming with a six-speed manual gearbox"

Since the current five speed limits power to about 250bhp (according to cossvaux and regal) would like to see if the six speed can handle more gruuuuunnnnnnntttttttt. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
