I love that. However, given that it's an AE picture, I don't fully believe that's what it'll look like.

Its not complete AE bollocks as usual - http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/vehicles/future-models-and-concepts/Astra_gtc/index.html
Still only a concept car but i cant see it changing all that much.

compare it to the 5 door. the lines are basically the same. it's only the bumpers and rear arches that are different.

i think that looks stunning and will be even nicer in the flesh IMO. Even some of the new 5doors on the road look good!
Cant wait to see one on the road

I thought this was just to show the sportshatch style, is it actually the vxr version?

I dont not like it, but the fact it might be the new vxr, it just looks too tame to me tbh

Why is everyone hating the new Focus? I personally think it looks awesome, and so does this. Wayyyyyyy out of my price range though

i'll probably come around to it, but it's just way too over-designed and the back end is really fussy.
i really don't like the new rear lights either. they just look strange. maybe a 3 door will change my mind.

OPC centre in Nurburg have a fully finished/developed Astra VXR/OPC down there at the moment, Eammon from VXRonline saw it but wasn't allowed to take pics
"when we finnished in Adenau on Tuesday morning we called up at OPC and got some pics, one of the main guys was there and hiding behing the corner inside was the new astra OPC (VXR) 3 door........... wow wow wow, what a motor, managed to get a sneaky peek at it and it is a really nice car, front wings look flared as do the rear, and the side follows through"
