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.

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...

I think the forthcoming Astra actually looks better than the Golf VI, especially from the rear. :laugh:

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.

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.

I think the forthcoming Astra actually looks better than the Golf VI, especially from the rear. :laugh:
