This is one of the first official pictures of the new Astra
Sports Tourer, which will receive its debut at this year’s Paris Motor
Show in September and hit UK showrooms by the end of the year.
The Sports Tourer will be the second model to join the new Astra range,
which has now sold over 28,000 units in the UK (to end of May) since its
launch last December, and has helped the Astra become Britain’s
best-selling retail range in the first five months of this year. |  | | Combining high levels of practicality, clothed in a
typically sleek and rakish body from Brit, Mark Adams’ design team, the
Sports Tourer will be available to order from the start of October. | | | | The new Jetta has been unveiled at Times Square in New
York, featuring a sharp new look, greater space and the most advanced
range of petrol and diesel engines yet.
Drawing inspiration from the popular NCC (New Compact Coupé) concept car
which made its debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January, the new
Jetta was styled under the leadership of Klaus Bischoff, head of design
for the Volkswagen brand. |  | Every panel is new with precise, clean lines lending the
Jetta an elegant appearance that marks the latest evolution of the new
Volkswagen design language.
The fresh styling and acute attention to detail continues inside the
Jetta. An all-new dashboard featuring subtle aluminium highlights sits
ahead of a leather-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel. Every Jetta will
feature an integrated multifunction display, air conditioning and a CD
stereo system. Available as an option will be touchscreen satellite
navigation. | | | |  | The famous Gordini stripes with a modern twist
are now
available on Clio with the introduction in the UK of the Gordini 200 at
£19,650.
Following in the recent slipstream of the Twingo Gordini 133, Clio
Gordini 200 features a Renault i.d. Malta Blue metallic finish with twin
white racing stripes on the bonnet, roof and tailgate, in keeping with
its famous predecessors.
The front bumper is enhanced with a gloss black centre
section and white F1-style ‘blade'. The door mirrors are also
highlighted in white. | This exclusive exterior styling package is
completed by 17-inch Gordini alloy wheels with a polished face and black
inner rim. ‘Gordini Series' badging finishes the exclusive exterior
design.
The same Gordini spirit continues inside thanks to Renaultsport seats in
dark grey leather with blue details and Gordini-embossed logo. Blue
detailing continues on the gearlever gaiter and Gordini-badged gearknob.
The steering wheel is finished in blue and dark grey leather with two
white stripes to indicate the centre point. The fascia features a
white rev counter and the effect is completed with black gloss finish to
the centre console, fascia inserts and air vent surrounds. |
