The current Astra J is a beautiful car, but the replacement is on the horizon and is about 2 years or so away. The 10th generation Astra seems to be influenced by the Monza Concept. Something about the front feels rather E-type-ish which is a good thing.
I must admit I have seen some pics of it before but I only start paying attention to it now that TopGear reviewed it. Sounds like the 1-series had a very good effect on it over the last couple of years because this is the entry level Mercedes that you would actually want to be seen in...
