New Opel Astra Teaser Images Appear, Blurrier Than A Sasquatch
GM has released a set of vague sketches to tease those European brethren among us who are anxiously awaiting the launch of the new Astra, which we're not expecting until the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show.

And wow, check out the front quarter lower intakes, or maybe it could just be sneaky camouflage. Full spy report below the fold. More »
