Vauxhall has announced the ecoFLEX is being added to the Astra range – available in S, SE, Exclusiv and SRi trim. There was a time – not so long ago – when car makers trumpeted the arrival of the range-topping, high-performance model of a new car shortly after the main range launched. But now the […]
2010 Astra – the advert
Vauxhall / Opel have been on a bit of an advertising blitz with the 2010 Astra and have produced a cinema-length advert for the new Astra. The 2010 Astra – whether it’s an Opel or a Vauxhall – is a very big deal for GM in Europe. So it’s probably just as well that it’s […]

New Vauxhall Astra – the Interior
Yesterday we brought you a video of the new Vauxhall Astra taking on the Focus and Golf at Millbrook (‘taking on’ is a bit of an exaggeration) which was the starting point for Vauxhall’s build-up of interest in the new Astra before it launches at Frankfurt in September. So it was a bit of a […]
Opel / Vauxhall Astra revealed
Hot on the heels of the release of the teaser images of the Vauxhall Astra comes the full reveal of the all new Vauxhall Astra. Which rather begs the question: Why bother with the daft teaser picture? Of course, it may be a reaction by Opel/Vauxhall to some of the pictures leaking out, but it […]

You’d think Vauxhall would have better things to do with the current GM mess than torment buyers with teaser shots of the new Vauxhall Astra. But, just like every other car maker lately, they seem to think that this is the way to lead-in to a launch. This time we’ve got a variation on a […]
