Opel Corsa 5-door caught by Autoblog in Spain
How often does it happen that a manufacturer sends a preproduction prototype home with an engineer who happens to live a few doors down from one of our own? Not often, so imagine Alberto's big surprise when he spotted this down the street in Spain, a 2007 Opel Corsa 5-door that's not scheduled to officially debut until next month at the British Motor Show. Alberto's trigger finger went crazy on the Corsa snapping no less than 17 crystal clear, high rez photos. Check it out and let us know if you think GM should import the Corsa instead of the larger Astra to replace the outgoing Ion. General Motors has already released official pics of the 5-door Corsa ahead of its debut, but we appreciate the closer look provided by Alberto's lens.

Opel has already send out a pressbulletin with photos of the new Corsa three weeks ago. So I'm afraid this is old news. Pressmaterial is also available on Opel's mediasite.

Things in these sites works this way: you read, then comment. So, don't be lazy! Go and click that pic so you can read what we all know.

Just to clarify. Opel released the official pics of the new Corsa some days ago, but it won't be unveiled till the British Motor Show (in one month). These are the first "real" photos of the car. They show a couple of new things, like the sunroof, which is not present in the official pictures.

the astra is to the civic where the corsa is to the fit, they are different classes, so they need to bring both of them here, as quickly as possible...
i wonder if there will be a vxr version too.

Bring them both (Corsa/Astra) over. The Astra is something that the Ion never was. While the Corsa stands head and shoulders above the Aveo.

They should bring both twin-tops over. Love the panoramic sunroof.
