The new BEAT looks great, but 41 mpg HWY come on. My 65 Ford Falcon 6 cyl three on the tree did almost that well over 40 years ago. Let's get serious and produce some vehicles that get upwards of 50 mpg. When are you guys and the rest of the auto world going to get serious? The new BEAT looks great, but 41 mpg HWY come on.

Astras are technically essentially identical with similar vehicles offered by GM's German subsidiary Opel in most other European countries. For the first two generations, the nameplate was applied to UK spec right-hand drive versions of Opel Kadett (which it was sold as in the Republic of Ireland in right-hand drive), and since 1991, Opel also uses the Astra nameplate, so Vauxhall and Opel Astras are essentially identical vehicles.
