Do you think it's a fan car or dealer promo car? I recall Volvo produced replica decal kits for dealers to build up lookalike ST 850 wagons and sedans during their early ST years. No pics?

That was at the Autosport show wasn't it? Couldn't get a decent look, due to the crowds. That is (I hasten to add) the crowd around the main stage, not the crowd trying to get a look at the Chevy!

Was it Chevrolet Nubira or a chevrolet Astra you saw because I saw a Chevrolet Nubira in racing decals.

From memory I think it's a Nubira, but I'm sure someone'll confirm.

As far as I know, the WTCC team are looking to use a Chevrolet Astra so seeing a Nubira doesn't make it a replica does it?

Of course, I could be talking total nonsense and it was an Astra...

Its a Nubira here (Ireland) but in other parts of the world it is known as the Lacceti as for the astra name on a Chevy.. I think thats just used in North/South America..

hi there
i'd certainly have a Chevy Astra over a Vauxhall Astra any day it sounds better saying you have a Chevy than saying you have a Vauxhall d-b |
