a good review on the viva and astra replacement are found here

dont expect the comments to differ much from the australian version. i have driven the viva and i agree to whats written

interesting is where these 2 bodies were designed... pininfarina

[Red AH SRI T]

"Perhaps Daewoo wants to see which styling house do the job better. If so, I would say Italdesign does not match Pininfarina this time, because the Lacetti looks neither creative nor elegant. I think it won’t withstand the test of time as good as the sedan. "


I agree, i think that the hatch looks a little outdated and unfortunaltey the sedan/wagon are just bland, but they will look cleaner longer

on a similar note,

i saw a silver tigra today. it looked every bit worth $35k on the outside. distinctive, modern, bold.
