2011 Opel astra Coupe

By  •  Published:  •  Last updated:

We know a coupe version of the new Astra is around the corner, as well as a wagon.

The previous version still looks great. I just saw one (As a Saturn) again a few days ago.
This is an illustration of what the next one could look like.
Opel is thinking of reviving the old “Manta” name for the new car in Europe.
Buick will be selling the sedan version of the Astra in the US next year. It would be really nice to see the coupe coming over as well.

  1. Okay. This is downright sexy. I have never thought of myself as a "Buick" guy. But this would be tempting.

  2. GM is overlooking one great idea with this Opel Astra…

    How about having the Cruze be just the Cruze, and having the Astra 5-door and coupe be the Cruze's stablemates? The Cruze already looks like crap and it isn't even out yet.

  3. Anonymous: what does the Cruze have to do with Opel or Buick? Chevy is not partaking of the Opel parts bin. Your comment makes no sense to me.

    I think this is a hot looking chop/rendering. I've been trying to think of an old Buick name for this series, but can't come up with one. I don't mind Invicta, but it might sound too 'large.'

  6. It does look awfully Genesis-like…but…

    @casey/ a r t a n d c o l o u r, how about Skyhawk?

  7. Hyundai Genesis Coupe ?
    There's hardly any resemblance besides maybe the color.
    The whole bodywork is Opel and take a lot from the new Astra and the old Insignia GTC Prototype.

    A new Manta would be great 🙂
    I'd love a new Manta 400
