Opel Astra Coupe

This is the real thing.
Still with camouflage and fake rear lights.

But already, this looks even better than the most optimistic illustrations I’ve seen .

A truly great looking small coupe I hope will turn out over here as a Buick.

  2. Vince, I agree the Opels make great Buicks except the waterfall grill distrupts the lines of the design. I understand the history behind the waterfall grill dating to around 1949 but I wish Buick would refresh the waterfall to fit the lines better. Dave in Follansbee WV

  3. Interesting boomerang around the door handle character line to go with the swoop on the bottoms of the doors..

    Nope, you're wrong, the last-gen Astra 3dr had a ridiculously long windshield/sunroof available too.

    My bet is that it will be standard equipment.

  6. I don't think so, Garret…it looks like a sick-ass panoramic roof. Even better than the ES350 or Scion TC.

  7. This giant windshield has been an option on the European Astra for years now.
    Although it was never available on the Saturn version.

    Citroen offers something similar on the C3 and Picasso models.
