What’s easily the sexiest thing to come from Opel and Vauxhall since the GT, the Astra GTC is the envy of hot-hatch lovers across the Western Hemisphere. And the high-performance Astra OPC (or VXR if you reside in the Kingdom) awakens even deeper desires. With a 276 horsepower 2.0L turbo and a HiPer Strut front suspension system, who wouldn’t want to give this range-topping Astra a workout around a track?

So why can’t we get it here in NA in a form of Chevy?
thats what im wondering???????
Me Gusta Opel!
Because it would sell and be a tremendous success. That’s why it’s not here.
Too “niche-ey” for a U.S. GM car. Or watch: they snooze for another 2 years, THEN decide to bring it over – only to repeat the same saga of the G8. There’s no “fashionably late” in this segment. Just too late.
They’re also scared it would go ver like the Saturn Astra did, which mainly was bad timing with Saturn folding.
