Eeeeeeeeeee they are killing off the Veccy for this... I thought they were joking!! The current Vectra has an air of class and style about it; this one looks like a cheap and tack upgrade to the current Astra/Corsa and from the front, a wannabe Merc/Lexus but not half as stylish.

Bad bad move imho thumbsdown

Just looks like an overgrown Astra.

TBH I dont like the way current makers like to make all their cars look the same, just different sizes...

funny u should say that custom, a merc designer was on board the team, me personally i think its gonna be like the fiesta, love it or hate it its gonna be everywhere. hopefully it will address the driver comfort issue that i have always had with the vectra, I always liked the looks of any vectra (and earlier cav's in uk) but never ever got totally comfy in them.

It looks mahooooosive in that pic - and sits way to high!!

That blue grille looks well [Linked Image]

Still, no doubt the chavs, sorry, modifiers out there would soom paint it / chrome it quicker than a spotty 17 year old could fit Lexus lights to his Saxo... [Linked Image]

Has anyone else noticed the chrome plastic bits on the rear of the new Astra's looks very cheap and tacky when sitting behind them at lights and the like?

I only noticed this the other day, it looks as though it's "blinged up" but it's not it's just standard, the problem is it's an Astra not an Escalade!!
