well, thanks, i am flattered, hehe.

i respect your opinion about opel.no hard feelings,yeah?

opel is the brand of GM in Europe, for long time already,that is right.

well, opel scores quite ok in Europe anyway.
opel cars sold in Eu are made in Eu by germans and Belgians...well, i hope they are doing the job with the same attitude of making their knives.

about the look, i respect yours, and i keep mine.

if i remember right, the astra hatch back was there in Transformers II. one of the GM cars anyway.

my wife told me yesterday, that, the car is fine, but lack of power in some way. she noticed that! she used to drive my 2.2L.. hehe, i was a bit supprised that she noticed that..

ps,Finns, usually do not use big engine cars,1.4 -- 1.8 will be the commen choice for family cars.
