Should be a good car. The problem you always get with diesels, the power seems to go away too quickly. Adding another turbo should help that.

Uhh... twin turbos ?
Wont the Nm go out of proportions ? LOL.

If my Google-fu isn?t letting me down, Opel brought the badge back 3 years ago already for the current Corsa(D), marking the second fastest Corsa in the Range underneath the OPC ...

Yup. But I don't think they'll badge a diesel as a GSi anyhow. Perhaps.... CTTDi? Feels a bit long though... Hmmm... TT? EcoPower? EcoBoost? No I got it. flexPower. flexBoost. Something with flex in it.

Why bother with the cammo though? Like anyone would notice... The twin exhaust at the rear is a giveaway though.
Anyway, my dad bought his Opel Astra 2.0 diesel a year to early It'll probably be just called the CDTI like the other models I guess.

nice, the new astra is actually a pretty splendid car.... it looks sleek and the interior quality and design is really rather good. much better than the out going model.
this engine likely has sequential turbos....it'll only be a 4 pot, small turbo to eliminate some lag, a big turbo to give you some more poke at the high end so it should be a very tractable engine. BMW's 123d uses a similar set up, so it might be an idea to get an owners perspective on power delivery.

This might actually be another cool Opel again.

Why the fuck would they cover the Opel logo in the front?

so do we have any more info on this twin turbo system? I assume it isn't parallel but that leaves divorced sequential and compound sequential. Being as it's a diesel i assume it's going to be compound as thats what bigger diesels tend to run but any info would be super interesting.

So noone knows what it is! It's super effective!
They all do that, part of the routine.
I'm interested in what is following it. Looks like a Meriva with the fancy concept grille that they don't put in production. Or is it the new Zaffy?
