The Vauxhall Astra GTC gets revealed (for the umpteenth time) together with price and model details. On sale now from £18,495.

Vauxhall Insignia VXR Unlimited Option
Vauxhall has announced an ‘Unlimited Option’ for the Vauxhall Insignia VXR which removes the limiter and ups the top speed to 170mph. We like the Vauxhall Insignia; it’s a very good car. We like it even more in better-than-warm Vauxhall Insignia VRX guise, where this warmed-over rep-mobile manages to pick up its skirts and scoot […]
Vauxhall Astra GTC 2011 / 2012 revealed
Vauxhall has revealed the first photo of the 3-door Vauxhall Astra GTC. Full reveal is on 7th June and the public debut is at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Vauxhall release more details, and a set of photos, of the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer Concept, a new model destined to sit above the current Zafira in Vauxhall’s range.
