Next Corsa will be a looker
by Brian Byrne. The next Opel Corsa, which will share its architecture with the next generation Fiat Punto, is expected to be much more adventurous in design.
The latest Astra GTC design cues, with low-front wedge styling and a rear-end integral roof spoiler are understood to be part of the style of the car, due for debut late next year.
The new Punto will reveal a year sooner, at this September's Frankfurt auto show.
The car is expected to have a range of petrol engines from 60-125hp and diesels with outputs from 70-100hp.
The Corsa is being designed in-house at Opel, but the Fiat is a Giugiaro production.
