Heartbreakid 6th Gear October 21, 2006 Share October 21, 2006 (edited) Opel introduces the Astra 4 door sedan... Wheelbase is identical to that of the Astra Estate instead of the hatchback. This is a good thing because the estate has a longer wheelbase than the hatchback, thus offers better rear legroom. But not sure if local dealer is bringing the sedan in... The sedan looks kind of big though. Edited October 21, 2006 by Heartbreakid ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magfocus 5th Gear October 21, 2006 Share October 21, 2006 The rear seems to have an Aveo profile about it.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreakid 6th Gear October 21, 2006 Author Share October 21, 2006 Not at the moment... But I suspect it will be much identical to current local Astra's Spec, perhaps with the 1.8 VVT model... But it's still early to say if Opel Singapore would import this model... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbreakid 6th Gear October 22, 2006 Author Share October 22, 2006 I somehow preferred the looks of the sedan before this generation of Astra, looks more "compact" and gives "solid" stance... The new Astra sedan, well... looks abit too big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relagsingh 4th Gear October 22, 2006 Share October 22, 2006 All from GM mah... Apparently i felt that the sillhouette looks more like an S60. Nice rear end though. It'll be cool if there's a high performance version for it, if they sort out their handling 1st that is... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
