How good does the Astra Turbo coupe look :cool:

The old model won "Best Bang for Bucks" in Motor magazine and this new one will be even better.

I dont like the look of the new one, it has an ugly butt.
Im sceptcal how good it will be too, compared to the old one. its getting virtually the same drivetrain but this new body and interior. Its probably a bit heavier. The old Astra turbo was a rebadged OPC Astra, the top-of-the-line turbo model. The new OPC Astra has 170 odd kw, but we're getting the UKs bottom-of-the-line turbo astra.
