Although a new drawing of the 2010 Opel Astra which is claimed to be the finished shape ( you can see it after the jump) has hit web, but the actual car was recently spied in the streets wearing a heavy cover.

Despite the disguise, Astras’s front bumper design is easy to observe and it’s known that the car follows the current design-line as the rest of the fleet. And of course there has never been an ugly Astra, so no worries about the looks.

AS for the powertrains, the most interesting upgrade should be the introduction of the EcoFlex engines which are said to as economical as VW’s Bluemotion. The 2010 Astra will be revealed at the 2009 IAA Frankfurt Motorshow, however Opel’s big financial problems are still causing them a lot of pain. Hope that they recover soon as the Abu Dhabi investment deal is sealing. Opel is a good old brand.
