Mmmm looks good. And a hatch too! Looks best in the first picture. Interior doesn't look that good though.

The specs are impressive too, but so expensive for a small car. Almost $40,000 for a base model.

I don't think you can literally price cars here based on English values.

The car is the hotness! I would totally hit it in red with the optional 19's. One of the best wheel designs I have seen in a while.

No doubt it does look good with the 19s and in red, but if it came to NA what do you think it would go for?

Vauxhall is GM in North America.  I love the Vauxhall Zafira, but if it came over here it'd be a Saturn.  I dunno if I could driving a Saturn.  Smiley

Vauxhall is a UK car maker.? Now it's part GM, Opel, Holden/HSV.

In fact Vauxhall Astra/Opel Astra is called Holden Astra in Australia.
