The Astra sedan essentially made its debut as the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-buick-excelle-gt-debuts-in-china-us.html">new Buick Excelle GT in China</a> back in the summer of 2010 followed by the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/01/2012-buick-verano-sedan-china-excelle.html">North American 2012 Buick Verano</a> at last year's Detroit Motor Show. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fJniZnEDXmk/TzRMAnfqcdI/AAAAAAAGq_o/lQxj-afBo1g/s1600/2013-Opel-Astra-Sedan-15.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707270201270759890" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fJniZnEDXmk/TzRMAnfqcdI/AAAAAAAGq_o/lQxj-afBo1g/s200/2013-Opel-Astra-Sedan-15.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); width: 141px; height: 95px;"></a>Now, our spies bring us pictures of the Opel Astra model while testing in Germany. There's no camouflage up front so we can see that the Opel-flavored version sports the same fascia as the European Astra. The automaker's engineers covered the rear end, but from what we can tell, the only differences with the Buick models concern the tail lamp graphics and possibly the removal of the chrome eyebrows to create a more three-dimensional look, along with a differen license plate holder and the incorporation of a spoiler lip to the boot. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/02/scoop-not-so-new-opel-astra-sedan-takes.html#more">Read more »</a>
