New Vectra for 2008!

**Stevie-B** · 9th May 2007, 14:15

Well what does everyone think of the new looking concept from GM to replace the current Vectra in 2008?
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/au...ll_vectra.html

"the most impressive feature, for the (sic) Vectra replacement will be the first Vauxhall to get parent firm General Motors’ new Traffic Assist system. This uses radar and video to scan the road ahead, braking the car automatically in the event of a potential collision. " WOW RADAR IN A VAUXHALL!!!! what next a 22mm machine gun to get rid of the traffic in front....

Now I'm even more glad I didn't buy a facelift now, I thought it was gonna be 2009, making it 2010 before i'd be able to get one, but my current one will be all payed up by then and a nice deposit towards a D.

And Ford are gonna be in so much trouble over this, new Mondeo will need a facelift within a yr of launch, lol

i did buy a facelift model and when the new one has been out for a while seems a good replacement

I think it looks cool!!

Well it's got me hooked, and if JC says it's dull and boring this time, and pulls a salad joke again, it'll only serve to show his opinion is bias.

Wow, that looks sick!

Best looking saloon out there, if it turns out just like this.
I guess it won't be long now before this forum becomes "Vectra-D.com" and everyone starts again with those Irmy grilles and Caterham boxes once more.
Can't wait.

Europe gets it in 2008, I would say we get it in Spring 2009. I have also been told whilst in Germany on good authority that the Vectra name will be 100% dropped.

Another AutoExpress photochop, more than likely based on rumour and speculation.

To be honest, i think it looks poor but then it is only a chop!

The back end reminds me of the Astra soft top !

I asked the dealers when the next gen Vecy would be out when I went in to place my order, they said definatly 2009.

Only seven weeks now!!! (Well the estimate was eight weeks, so I hope it won't take much longer).
