I remember reading in Motor Trend that a design for the next generation Saturn Ion was scrapped and was going to be a rebadged Opel Astra. I added it to the article. 70.57.81.173 23:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I think we should not dismiss the source car may be GM hit as a newspaper gossip that should not be taken. I propose we add this information again since it has a source (in fact, more than one source, because I was able to find a few places citing that the Astra will hit the USA as stated on the above dismissed link). Perhaps adding a temporal template stating that this is about a current or future event is enough. Leting this info out is diminishing the value of this article because it's a great impact to the Astra family: hit the US. If no objections are made I will restore the link and will put the temporal template in place. Regards Loudenvier 17:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Please, until GM make a statement it still unofficial info. Wikipedia is not meant to be a newspaper. The compromise we found is a good one: citing the interveiu with Bob Lutz. Adding anything further than that will be in violation of wikipedia guidelines. I will back-up Bravada in any reverts until such a statement is made by GM or Saturn. To avoid a revert war I suggest leaving this part of the article as it reads now: it tells about the high probability of Astra in the USA, letting the reader to figure out if it is or not for certain. Regards. Loudenvier 17:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
I have submitted a site; http://opelastrah.com to the external links, and it has been removed. I believe it is not spam, and it is very ontopic. Roy
I find this is wording does not work. At the end of the first paragraph, it states 'It competes mainly against the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf.' I find this is rather amibguous now that the car will be sold in North America this year (Under the Saturn Brand). My reasoning for this is that while the Ford Focus may be considered a mid-range car in Europe, it is most certainly NOT in North America. Stating that the car competes mainly with a Ford Focus and the Volkswagen Golf will lead a person from the US or Canada to believe that the price point on an Astra can vary between $12,000 CDN to $28,000 CDN. (As the North American Focus is priced at $12,000 - $15,500 CDN and the Golf is $25,000 - $28,000 CDN) SJM 26 February 2007
Hey, thanks to whomever changed this so promtly. SJM 28 February 2007
engine spec for astra F uploaded, information taken from Haynes service and repair manual Scorpio wan1945 21:05, 29 April 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scorpio wan1945 ( talk • contribs) 09:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC).
I read
panoramic windscreen (unique for a production car at the time of its launch) which extends into the roof area. This type of window is not a panoramic windscreen.
A car with a real panoramic windscreen haves A-pillars with a vertical angle like opel Kapitän P1 This way the A-pillars block Les visibility.

Hi people, there's an on going discussion about this on the Saturn Astra article talk page. It would be interesting if we participate so that we can really reach a better understanding of the issue. Please, visit the talk page of Saturn Astra to participate. Loudenvier ( talk) 19:21, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

OK - the conclusion of that debate was a clear consensus to merge - so Saturn Astra is now a redirect to this page. The original Saturn Astra page is stored at the bottom of the talk page for that article. SteveBaker ( talk) 01:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
There's something wrong with the width of the hatchback - it can't be 2032 mm (80 in) vs 1753 mm (69 in) / 1759 mm (69.3 in) for the other models. PMJzz ( talk) 02:32, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
One, or more of the generations had the Easytronic transmission. I am fairly sure it was the Astra-G and Astra-F - can someone clarify/confirm, and add it to the article, thanks. 78.32.143.113 ( talk) 10:27, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Do you think that is useful to add an external link to this panorama: Interior of an Opel Astra . I only propose it.-- RobCatalà ( talk) 08:07, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Astras F were produced and sold in Poland until late 2001 and sold as Astra Classic, as opposed to Astra G marketed in Poland as Atra II. I own this model produced in august 2001, bought in november 2001 from dealer in Poznań.
Production dates should be expanded at least to 2001 or even early 2002.

The engine table really needs to clarfify which engine code corresponds with which model. It is also missing the 1.2 Corsa engine used in some (underpowered) Astras 82.141.196.178 ( talk) 16:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I think we should merge Vauxhall in Opel — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.212.27.97 ( talk) 08:08, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm not completely sure about this but I believe the 1.7 L diesel unit ( Circle L engine) produced 221 lbs/ft (300 N.m) of torque as of 2012 as well as the previous 207 lbs/ft (280 N.m) and 192 lbs/ft (260 N.m) stated. I would put forward this information myself only I can't verify it. yesilikecars ( talk) 22.28, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Hey, I was wondering if it might be a good idea to add a chart that shows the various models of Astra across the world and their equivalents.
So, showing that a Opal Astra G is the equivalent of a Holden Astra TS.
Just a thought.

According to Vauxhall's literature, the Astra GTC at least is a coupé: [3] and Parker's Car Guides have a section for the 2000-2004 coupé as well: [4] Possibly more, but I stopped with the first two results. Chaheel Riens ( talk) 11:37, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

All, it appears that the Astra H (Mk 5) is not based on the Delta platform, but based on the T-platform. I am currently trying to find more references to this before I make any changes, so if you have any to share that would be great. VX1NG ( talk) 16:13, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
The Opel/Vauxhall Astra F and G were also produced in 3-door & 5-door liftback Version in Opel Eisenach Plant in Germany. EA-Henning ( talk) 23:14, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

@ BushelCandle: This piece of text got to go, This was also a feature of the first generation Holden Astra in New Zealand, although this was later changed to an Opel-style grille, bringing it into line with Australia, as well as the Opel Astra in India.
New Zealand portion is only supported by ebay and Australia and India part was supported by adpost. These are both not reliable sources. Adding the information back with citation needed tag does not cut it. Every information which is not supported by a reliable source is doubted and your summary and reason in the tag is misleading. I request that you remove this information until you can support it with a reliable source. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 02:44, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
The saloon was offered as an Opel but the hatchback and estate was offered by Opel and Vauxhall. GroppeBoucher ( talk) 09:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
The Opel Astra-e will be launched in Europe on 2023 (rebadged as a Vauxhall in the United Kingdom). Derwydd74 ( talk) 03:53, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
The second paragraph of the section headed "OPC" under "Astra H (A04; 2004)" (see here: /info/en/?search=Opel_Astra#OPC ) has issues with readability which suggests it has been poorly edited and needs cleanup.
It says "This vehicle was sold until late 2009 in Australia and New Zealand by Holden Special Vehicles as the HSV VXR. HSV VXRs but it never offered a sedan in the UK and Australia are sold as standard with full leather trim, climate control, 6 disc CD and 19-inch alloy wheels."
The second sentence seems to be missing something, and the paragraph then goes on to say "The sedan was discontinued in Australia and United Kingdom in 2003" which goes against the earlier mention of the sedan never being offered in UK and Australia.
