Talk:Opel Astra

message: 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)
replies: text: Please, if you could find the source and cite it then this information would be very welcome to the article (a kind of an Astra in USA...)... But we need a reference for that! Could you provide us one? Regards, Loudenvier 03:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: I added a bit of info...

message: 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.

message: 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.

message: 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.

message: 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) Astras82.141.196.178 (talk) 16:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I believe putting 5.7 V8 or 4.0 V8 on the list is wrong and foolish, for these are either concepts or race cars. Its same as saying a big block 455 Chevy is a VW Beetle engine, as people swap for drag racing.85.110.172.75 (talk) 23:16, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I think we should merge Vauxhall in Opel  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.212.27.97 (talk) 08:08, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't mention any reasons why. It could be a bit confusing for UK readers as the Astra nameplate has been used on both Vauxhall versions of Kadetts and Astras for thirty years and is rather notable - particularly as several versions are built in Britain. However, from an international point of view it might make more sense. The Vauxhall Astra page has been rationalised in places to better reflect the Opel host car, and maybe this can be improved so that the Vauxhall Astra page is more specific about UK derivatives. <B>Warren</B> (talk) 08:21, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: neutral: Well it certainly would make things easyer by merging the pages for me when giving information that is relevant to both Vauxhall and Opel brands, instead of having to go back and forth putting all the information on both pages but I understand that it might create certain problems so ill leave it for whoevers in charge to sort it out.                                                   yesilikecars (talk) 01:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

text: Others such as Corsa and Vectra were redirected to Opel as that was where the names were originally used, or where the Vauxhall version (e.g. Nova) would only be part of the Opel model article. Astra was originally a Vauxhall name so the situation would be reversed (and Vauxhall Astra shouldn't be a disambiguation page, as it isn't about unrelated uses of a name). Peter James (talk) 13:16, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

text: <S>Weak Oppose - Didn't the Vauxhall Astra exist before the Opel Astra according to the articles or am I misremembering another attempted merge that was similar? Thanks ツ Jenova20 (email) 08:47, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

text: Strong Oppose - The Vauxhall Astra has existed for 12 years before the Opel Astra. If anything the Opel Astra should be merged into the Vauxhall Astra. Thanks ツ Jenova20 (email) 08:54, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

message: 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.

thread_title:  Opel Astra-e 

message: The second paragraph of the section headed "OPC" under "Astra H (A04; 2004)" (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.
