Probably not, it already has the same 2.0T as the SAAB 9-3.

Which would move this car pretty good.

The sedan is actually very very bland in person, reminds me of a Focus sedan. The three door is really sexy, the 5 not so much.

And there's always the wagon...

u might be right, who knows

one things for sure, the RL version of this car will definately be over the top. i cant wait to see it!

I won't be buying a two-door again for awhile. Not till we are done with all the baby-making.

I have to agree that the base version doesn't do a whole lot for me, but the Astra OPC looks HOT! It will definitely be neat to see what they make of that car over the next few years.

Although, with having just bought the VUE, and the SKY RL on the way, I doubt an Astra RL will be anywhere in my future for a while.
