Geneva Premiere: Opel Zafira and Astra OPC

Our incongruous Swiss train fiasco kept us from GM's Opel press event. It launched the Zafira, an MPV with some angularity that breaks up its motherly shape nicely. Opel also introduced its Astra and Zafira OPC models, higher performance versions of the two cars. The Astra is a shade higher wattage in attractiveness than we expected, up close, and features a turbocharged version of the Opel 2.0 liter, 200hp four, pushing 240hp total. More exciting stuff the US will never see, at least in this format. Bah.
