    Allegra to replace Agila (another Opel we won't get in SA)

    Since the joint venture between Opel and Suzuki came to an end there has been a few concepts on how to replace the sub Corsa level Agila (Suzuki Splash). The new name will be the Allegra and it is set to be built on the same platform as the new GM Spark. On the style front it is still unclear...

    Meriva - in teal gay blue!

    Ever since the VAG boys gave Oriental Blue the new name of "teal gay blue" I have begun to like the colour even more. So here are some more of this "fab" colour on the funky new Meriva, especially for the VAG boys ;) Who needs gullwing doors when you can have suicide doors ? So there...

    "Certainly more stylish than the likes of the Focus or Golf" - Whatcar?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbIoC75AOxc Glad its not only me that thinks so :cool: although I guess I am a bit biased in this case. It would be interesting to see how much it costs when it arrives here by year end.

    When I look at older cars around me...

    When I look at older cars around me, i always look for cars that stood the test of time. In my opinion, i always find Toyota's, VW's, Corsa Lites, Honda Ballades and the older Mercs (230E...). As i am looking to buy 2nd run around car between 30-45k, i am trying to identify which car will give...

    Buying a new car : Why I'm not buying the world car of the year 2010 (Polo)

    So this weekend I decided its time to buy a new car again. I got my last new car 10 years ago for my 19th birthday and bought one used car since then. I did a little searching around and was surprised that my personal favorite, the Opel Corsa, is a much better deal than the oh so common Polo...

    Angry Germans : GM wants Opel/Vauxhall

    Turns out things are looking a little better at GM and now they are thinking of holding on to Opel/Vauxhall. Not surprising really since most of the innovations inside GM on normal sized cars (not over sized Detroit steel) comes from Opel. The Germans however are not happy with this, perhaps...

    Walnut wood effect center console for Astra G

    I'm looking for something like this, but I do not want to buy it off ebay: Anyone that knows where I can get it locally. It seems to go for about R700 if you import one from Greece.

    Opel Astra Right Rear-View Mirror - I need One!

    My wife was driving back from Pretoria and was getting stuck in-between a truck and the chevrons in the fast lane. One of the chevrons was sticking too far into the fast lane and whacked off the rear-view mirror on the driver's side. She could not avoid it cos the truck was on the other side...

    New Opel Astra I (9th generation)

    While some like drooling over pictures of the 6th generation of a boring euro box that looks like a station wagons illegitimate child conceived by lazy designs copied off a SUV (what a mouthful) - it is good to see some more passionate and flair-full designs emerging from Germany. As the...

    Ampera, Opel's take on the Volt

    http://www.wheels24.co.za/Content/Galleries/Image/Opel/Ampera Pretty good to see the European version of the Chev Volt at Geneva. Lets just hope this one makes it into production and then to the shores of SA. It is a plugin hybrid that gives you 60km of all electric motoring before the...

    New Astra I/8 ?

    I was wondering if there was any pictures of the next Astra so I googled a bit. While I doubt the next Astra will look like this it still looks pretty good for a start. It certainly is not as dramatic as the new Corsa D/4 but there are similarities. I wonder if these will also have road...
