Post by: Wayne on 16 June 2009, 09:20: The new astra is even closer
Title: Re: MKVI = Vauxhall Astra...........
Post by: VWKev on 16 June 2009, 14:52: They look nothing alike, not even remotely close. Well tell a lie, they both have number plates and headlights and a badge in the middle.

Post by: ub7rm on 16 June 2009, 17:03: I see what he means though.

I suspect a lot of newer generation models are going to have the same profile front end to give those poor pedestrians who walk about on the roads a better chance of surviving...

Post by: FroGTI on 17 June 2009, 07:25: I think the forthcoming Astra actually looks better than the Golf VI, especially from the rear. :laugh:

Post by: Vman on 18 June 2009, 16:29: I was behind a new MK6 and the rear lights just don't look right, I thought the back looked a bit Vectra estate-ish from a distance, not good!
Title: Re: MKVI = Vauxhall Astra...........
Post by: VWKev on 18 June 2009, 18:48: Yeah when I was behind a mk5 GTI the other day I thought roughly the same when I was having a laugh at how ugly the non colour coded rear bumper was. very cheap looking.

Post by: Vman on 18 June 2009, 21:04: Just happen to see the new Astra today at work with the 18inch alloys on and have to say it does look very good, hopefully it will sell well, I do love the interior, but it does feel a bit cramped inside compared with the Golf.
