Knockhill MotorFair 2004 - new Vauxhall Astra

The UK version of the new Astra will be in the showrooms next week.
Vauxhall had 2 at the Motorfair - a standard one and an Irmscher bodykit.
They looked nice, a hint of the Renault rear end .... just not so BIG

the vauxhall (or opel) astra is the best looking hatchback compared to the new Audi A3, VW Polo 5, etc. Its sleek, futuristic & aggressive. even without any fancy modifications it still looks good. i wouldnt mind modifying or tuning it but price is the only problem. it still hasnt arrived here in the UAE so im still waiting. does anyone know its price?

In the flesh I think this is one of the nicest cars in UK for 'family car' market.
As I'd noted it has the appeal of the Megane rear without it being as over-powering ( unless you're favourite song is ....... Baby Got Back ....."I like big butts and I cannot lie" )
As I looked closer I could see hints of Citroen, Peugeot, Renault, Ford styling. AND it didn't look like a dogs dinner

The German magazine Auto Motor und Sport tested the Opel better than the latest Golf. This result is almost a revolution.
