Ever since 1979 the Astra has evolved from the assembly plant in Cheshire to become one of the best-loved British compact cars. Late 2009 will mark the introduction of the sixth brand new Vauxhall Astra, which yields a bold new shape and a premium, dynamic driving experience.
With its lean sculpted silhouette, muscular coupe-inspired lines and intelligent use of technology the new car redefines the traditional hatchback design and is set to continue the race to what’s fast becoming a motoring legend.

The Vauxhall Insignia VXR is a car to get excited about. The 2.8litre turbo-charged V6 pumps out an exhilarating 321bhp but most importantly it’s not just about power from “a to b” its about performance from “a to b to c”. This car is a combination of the best-proven bits of other models; the four-wheel drive system is similar to that of the Saab 9-3X and the front suspension is not a mile away from the new RS Focus. Sophisticated, yet powerfully distinctive you reportedly get more for your buck than an Audi S4.
Standard features on this Insignia include Brembo cross-drilled discs for superb braking, bi-xenon headlights with dynamic beam levelling, Vauxhalls intelligent adaptive forward lighting (AFL) system, electronic limited slip differential (eLSD), unique VXR lowered chassis with tuned bushing and damper settings and a DAB CD entertainment centre to boot.
