Britain's best selling UK-built car is re-born and revitalised
Launched at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, Vauxhall's all-new Astra is poised to raise the bar for compact cars sold in the UK, with a combination of stylish design, class-leading dynamics, ultra-efficient powertrains and upscale quality.
On sale now, and in UK showrooms from December, the new Astra will uphold Vauxhall's tradition of offering buyers levels of innovation and technology normally found in a class above. New Astra prices start at £13,995 for the comprehensively equipped 1.4-litre, 87PS Exclusiv model and extend to £24,335 for the luxurious 2.0CDTi 160PS Elite automatic.
With a range of eight engines and five trim levels, the new Astra will initially be available as a five-door hatchback only, built at the Ellesmere Port plant in Cheshire, home to all Vauxhall's compact-class cars since it opened 46 years ago.
Ellesmere Port will be responsible from launch for manufacturing all Astras sold across Europe, but UK buyers will take the lion's share, amounting to 25 per cent of total production. Small wonder, then, that even in its outgoing form, the Astra is Britain's best-selling UK-built car and one that is almost always seen in the top three sales listings.
What's more, the Lower Medium Sector, in which the Astra sits, is hugely significant in the UK, accounting for 17.5 per cent of all retail car sales. With style-conscious buyers choosing Vauxhall more and more, the Astra has a large part to play in this success, along with its continued appeal to buyers in the fleet market.
"As with the Insignia, the Astra is an all-new car, continuing the transformation of the Vauxhall product range which started five years ago with the launch of the Mk 5 model," said Andy Gilson, Vauxhall's Marketing Director. "Also like the Insignia, the Astra aims to attract a new group of buyers, those who may never have considered a Vauxhall before, but now see cars like the new Astra as offering all the style and quality of a premium product, such as an Audi A3, but at a far more affordable price point. "
Mark Adams and his team execute yet another design masterstroke
With its strong, cab-forward silhouette, steeply raked windscreen and sloping rear roofline, the Astra makes ingenious use of many of the design features found in the Insignia, but in a fresh and innovative way. Also like the Insignia, it has spent over 600 hours in the wind tunnel, benefiting performance, economy and overall refinement.
"We're continuing with the same premium design cues as the Insignia," said Mark Adams, Vice President of Design for GM Europe. "However, the main design themes, liked the wing-shaped signatures and the blade, needed an individual execution to avoid 'cloning' the model ranges."
Upmarket design, quality materials and clever packaging define new Astra's cabin
Echoing the flowing forms of its bodywork, the new Astra's interior marks a major shift towards premium design and quality in the compact sector. It employs the recurring wing and blade motifs that were first introduced in the Insignia and are now used in a fresh and innovative way.
Ambient lighting enhances the feeling of quality in the cabin, with lighting points framing the gearshift surround, the area above the centre console and within the door handle recesses, depending on trim level.
Unparalleled in this sector is the Astra's raft of clever cabin storage solutions, some of which have even been patented. Rather than focusing on the compartment size alone, the Astra's cabin is full of bespoke storage areas designed specifically for the 20 most common items buyers have been found to carry in their car, from an MP3 player to a 1.5-litre drinks bottle.
Efficient, yet powerful, Astra's engines are low on C02 but high on power
The new Astra will be available with a range of nine engines, ranging from 87PS to 180PS, all of which offer impressive efficiency and an overall cut in emissions of 13.3 per cent compared with the current Astra range.
Diesel engines are expected to represent almost half of all Astra sales, and will range from a 1.3-litre producing 95PS to a 2.0-litre generating 160PS, but will never emit more than 129g/km when fitted with a manual transmission.
There will also be five petrol engines available, ranging from an 87PS 1.4-litre to a 180PS 1.6-litre Turbo. Included in this line up will be a new 1.4-litre turbocharged engine, producing 140PS, replacing the 1.8-litre motor used in the current range. This new powertrain perfectly illustrates Vauxhall's engine downsizing philosophy which provides drivers with all the performance of a larger capacity engine, but with far fewer emissions.
Innovative Watt's link rear axle equals fine dynamics and superior packaging
The new Astra's front and rear tracks have been increased by 56mm and 70mm respectively, while its wheelbase has been increased by 71mm, the cumulative effect being improved handling and ride quality, as well as more space and comfort for occupants.
Continuing Vauxhall's trend for innovation, its engineers have combined the size, weight and efficiency benefits of a compound crank rear axle with a cleverly positioned Watt's link, which helps support lateral forces during cornering.
Complementing this system is a new version of Vauxhall's FlexRide adaptive damping system, which adjusts the suspension character automatically depending on the driver's needs, while also offering three programmable damper settings.
Finally, a core body structure, stiffer than that of the outgoing car, enhances the new Astra's ride and handling still further, while also reducing noise and vibration inside the cabin.
Illustrating Vauxhall's commitment to developing its cars specifically for British roads and drivers, the new Astra has bespoke UK steering settings developed in conjunction with the Vauxhall Engineering Centre, based at GM's Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire.
Vauxhall brings technology and innovation to the compact class
While the Insignia succeeded in making new, high-tech innovations accessible in the mid-size sector, Vauxhall has set itself an even more ambitious goal in bringing most of these features to the compact sector with the new Astra. These include:
- Advanced Forward Lighting (AFL+) – Vauxhall's third generation AFL+ which changes its intensity and reach to suit prevailing driving and road conditions using nine different light functions
- Ergonomic Driver's Seat – featuring 6-way adjustment (4-way on front passenger seat), 4-way lumbar adjustment and an extendable seat cushion. Available on all trim levels, both the driver's and front passenger's seats provide enhanced support for overall body comfort.
- FlexFloor – provides flexible solutions to boot storage, and features a boot floor which is moveable and can be mounted in a choice of three positions according to owners' needs.
- Flex-Fix – Vauxhall's innovative bike carrier is integrated into the rear bumper. This optional feature, which slides out of the rear bumper like a draw, provides an easy and convenient method of transporting up to two bikes.
- Design cues from much-praised Insignia reinterpreted for new Astra
- Sculptural shapes combined with sporty proportions
- Powerful shoulder-line and rakish profile re-define Vauxhall's design language
The next generation Astra brings a new look to the compact class, with its strong coupe-like lines, elegant surfaces and its unique interpretation of Vauxhall's design language.
At 4.42 metres the new Astra grows by some 17 centimetres compared with its predecessor, positioning itself right between the Corsa (4.0 metres) and the Insignia (4.83 metres). The wheelbase increases by 71 millimetres, improving rear passenger space and adding comfort for all occupants.
A slim but low trapezoidal grille incorporating the latest Griffin logo dominates the front of the car, while the familiar blade sculpted into the side panels of the new Astra sweeps upward and visually connects with the side window-line, balancing the car's proportions.
Eagle eye-shaped headlamps, that encompass the prominent wing-shaped daytime running lights, blend with a graceful flowing silhouette that connects the new car's muscular shoulder lines with its distinctive rear hatch area.
"We carried forward the work we began with Insignia," says Mark Adams, Vice President Design GM Europe. "This time we've given our design language a fresh expression for the compact class segment. Think of it as if the Insignia and Astra are members of a family. You can recognize the same gene pool, yet each car has its own personality and character."
The raked A-pillars flow into a diving bonnet-line, leading to narrow headlamp units, housing lights mounted on a dark inner surface, which add depth and a three-dimensional quality. The signature wing graphic on the daylight running lights sits inside sharp, eagle-eye headlamps.
The front indicator lights are now located separately in the front bumper recesses and are accented with chrome, while the neatly shaped repeater units are set into the upper front wings.
New body design sees reappearance of the 'Blade'
A crisply-executed soft shoulder line runs along the side of the body into the sculpted rear light units. Above these, the car's windows on most models are framed by a matt chrome surround, unique in the compact class.
Pressed into the side panel just ahead of the rear wheels is the unmistakable blade motif, echoing the distinctive design cue in the front doors of the Insignia. On the new Astra, though, the blade swings upward in a rearward movement, providing the car with its own individual identity.
In profile, the car's svelte proportions are accentuated by the triangular shape of the rear side window, the falling roof, the wraparound rear screen and the upward direction of the blade feature.
Coupe styling with hatchback functionality
The new Astra's side view hints at a sleek, almost coupé-like look, which belies the Astra's generous passenger accommodation, suitable for five adults.
Viewed from behind, the shoulder line extends along the side of the body into the sculpted rear lights in one, continuous flow. Designers achieved the muscular rear proportions by creating strong rear body shoulders, combined with a wraparound C-panel and tapered rear window.
The tail light units are set apart to accentuate the width of the vehicle's stance, and viewed at night, their double wing graphic creates an instantly recognisable appearance. This is enhanced by an upper rear spoiler, which also serves to improve the car's aerodynamics.
- Clever packaging offers more occupant comfort and space
- Distinctive exterior design cues echoed in cabin
- Tactile feel throughout cabin enhanced by extensive use of premium materials
Echoing the flowing forms of its bodywork, the new Astra's interior marks a major shift towards premium design and quality in the UK's compact sector, and continues Vauxhall's design evolution which started five years ago with the current Astra, followed by a further step-change last year with the launch of the Insignia.
The Astra's interior employs the recurring wing and blade motifs that were first introduced in the Insignia and are now used in a fresh and innovative way. The blade theme is expressed in details like the gooseneck shape of the door grab handles and the trim for the gearshift moulding and steering wheel.
As you look at the Astra's wraparound instrument panel, which embraces both front seat occupants, the wing design is immediately visible as it arcs across the cabin into the door-top mouldings. The dashboard has a black, grained finish with a subtly different texture to other mouldings in the cabin.
Ambient lighting enhances the quality feel of the cabin, with lighting points framing the gearbox surround, and providing illumination from above the centre console and within the doorhandle recesses, depending on trim level.
The feeling of cabin space and depth is illustrated by a centre panel mounted at a shallow 30-degree angle, which sweeps down from the top of the instrument panel to the centre console, creating a flowing surface that incorporates the gearshift. Like the Insignia, the Astra's main clocks and gauges are ringed with chrome, with the speedometer and tachometer pods angled inwards towards the driver.
Special emphasis has gone into the design and engineering of the Astra's seats, which now have industry-leading levels of adjustment. Their height can be raised by up to 65mm, while their fore and aft range extends to 280mm, allowing all drivers and passengers to find their ideal seating position. In addition, the Ergonomic Sports Seats (standard in all Elite models) have improved tilt adjustment (driver's seat only), four-way power lumbar support, superior side support and supporting foam pads.
Storage and packaging
'So do people actually put gloves in their gloveboxes?'
Using feedback from a customer survey, the interior team first compiled a list of the 20 most common items stored in cars: pens, coins, a flashlight, a road atlas, a parking disc, sunglasses, a wallet, paper tissues, a mobile phone, CDs, sweets, cups, magazines, newspapers, fruit, a first aid kit, a jacket, a 1.5/1.0/0.5-litre drinks bottle. And, of course, gloves.
Next, they noted where owners wanted to keep the items and looked for practical solutions. They found that car companies tended to focus on storage size alone, and that led to irritating problems, such as CDs being stored in the centre console, preventing the arm rest from being fully dropped down.
Max Kuncl, the team's Performance Integration Manager likened the challenge to a puzzle: "It was important for the team not only to find places for the items to fit, but for the new Astra's interior to still look great, and maintain high quality standards throughout the cabin."
This painstaking attention to detail has resulted in a variety of simple, but effective storage solutions. A hard-shelled sunglass case has been inserted above the door opening on the driver's side; coin slots and pen holders are moulded into the inside edge of the glove box lid; and the glove box itself has two removable compartments, while a second mini-glove box has been added just below the light switch.
Further storage innovation appears in the centre console, which can accommodate nine CD cases, as well as having a small storage area and an insert for two cup holders. There's also the option of an under-seat drawer beneath the passenger seat which is big enough to hold a pair of shoes. Rear passengers also benefit, with a 12-volt connection available for MP3 players, in addition to space for drinks bottles.
The new Astra's boot also came under close scrutiny. A recess was created in the side of the boot to accept either a first aid kit or warning triangle, while a patented FlexFloor was devised to offer further under-floor storage, while the floor itself can be fixed at different heights.
And those gloves? According to the survey, most owners don't keep them in the glovebox at all. They usually get thrown in the door's side pocket, next to the ice scraper.
Materials and quality
"Our goal was to make the perceptual quality in the interior of the next generation Astra as great as that of the Vauxhall Insignia," says Peter Hasselbach, in charge of Design Appearance Quality. "This is in line with Vauxhall's mission to bring innovations and quality to the compact class."
The quality of the materials used in the new Astra can be seen in areas like the grained surfaces, the textured panels, the chrome trim elements and the feel and operation of the buttons and switches. In addition, all the Astra's main surfaces are textured with upscale materials and top grains to give a strong, premium feel.
- Downsized petrol engines and ultra-efficient diesels with power range from 87-180PS
- Significant reduction in emissions and fuel consumption over current Astra engines
- New 1.4-litre Turbo engine promises strong performance with meagre running costs
- ecoFLEX model to join range next year with 109g/km combined emissions
Boasting a nine-engine lineup, the new Astra range will be on average 13.3 per cent cleaner and more economical than that of its predecessor, without denting the performance of any specific models.
Downsizing has been key to achieving lower emissions and fuel consumption, while a clear focus on high specific outputs and low-end torque values have ensured that strong performance is retained across the range.
The new 1.4-litre Turbo is a perfect example of this philosophy, producing 140PS and 139g/km combined C02 emissions, compared with the outgoing 1.8-litre engine, which produces the same power but with an extra 33g/km.
Sitting below the 1.4 Turbo in the petrol engine range are two normally aspirated 1.4-litre units producing 87 and 100PS respectively. Complementing these engines are two 1.6s: an un-blown unit with 115PS and a turbocharged version with 180PS.
The CDTi diesel line-up includes one 1.3 CDTi motor, two 1.7-litre engines and one 2.0-litre unit, all of which feature common rail with multiple fuel injection and are equipped with particulate filters (DPFs). These range in power from 95PS for the 1.3 CDTi to 160PS for the 2.0 CDTi.
All Astra engines meet Euro 5 emissions standards and each of the four-cylinder units is mounted transversely and features an aluminium cylinder head, with dual overhead camshafts operating four valves per cylinder.
Cast iron blocks have been used across the range for strength and reduced noise resonance, with a hollow-frame design for minimized weight. A die-cast, structural aluminium oil pan adds further stiffness and noise suppression.
Continuously variable valve timing, for both inlet and exhaust sides, is adopted on all engines, except the 1.6 Turbo. The camshafts have hydraulically operated vane-type phasers which vary the angle of each camshaft relative to the crankshaft by up to 60 degrees on the inlet, and 45 degrees on the exhaust side.
Cam phasing allows the engine control module to adjust the timing of the valve opening and closing according to varying conditions, such as engine speed and load. The many benefits include a broader spread of torque, higher maximum power and improved fuel consumption. Cam phasing is also an effective tool for controlling exhaust emissions, managing valve overlap at optimum levels to eliminate the need for a separate exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) unit.
*Final figure to be confirmed
1.4-litre (87 & 100PS versions)
The entry-level1.4-litre, naturally-aspirated engine, with a specific power output of 71.4PS per litre (100PS unit), has excellent fuel economy and returns a combined 51.4mpg.
The camshafts are chain-driven for maintenance-free operation and feature automatic hydraulic adjustment. Further refinements include the use of hollow camshafts, for reduced weight and lower reciprocating mass, and a flywheel with a torsional vibration damper for improved running refinement. The fuel injection system also features port deactivation under part load for improved exhaust gas recirculation, giving lower emissions and improved fuel consumption.
Maximum power of either 87PS or 100PS is generated at 5600rpm or 6,000rpm with peak torque of 130Nm available at 4000rpm.
Developing 115PS at 6,000rpm, the normally-aspirated 1.6-litre has an even higher specific power output (72.5PS per litre) than its 1.4-litre, naturally-aspirated cousin. Maximum torque of 155Nm is generated at 4,000rpm, with more than 90 per cent of this value available from 3,000rpm.
Fitted with this engine, the Astra will achieve a 0-60mph time of 10.9 seconds and a combined fuel consumption of 44.8mpg – only 8 per cent more than the 1.4-litre (100hp) engine.
A two-stage variable intake manifold is fitted, and for increased torque at engine speeds below about 4,000rpm, the fuel/air intake charge passes through 620mm long inlet tracts. Above 4,000rpm, the engine management system transmits a signal to channel the air along shorter 288mm tracts, which has the effect of increasing top-end engine power.
The engine's cylinder barrels are laser-etched for an extremely smooth finish, giving minimal piston friction and wear characteristics, while also benefiting oil and fuel consumption. Under-skirt piston oil cooling also features.
1.4-litre Turbo
Strong performance and flexibility are the core strengths of this new-to-range engine, which produces 140PS. Torque generation is even more impressive, with 200Nm available from just 1,850rpm to 4,900rpm, translating to a 0-60mph acceleration time of 9.0 seconds.
The water-cooled turbocharger, spinning at up to 200,000 rpm, is integrated into the exhaust manifold, close to the engine, for a fast throttle response. Air-to-air intercooling increases the intake charge density.
The adoption of a steel crankshaft with reinforced pistons and con-rods allows the use of a relatively high 9.5: 1 compression ratio, despite higher stresses and loads. Under-skirt piston oil cooling jets and exhaust valves filled with sodium are further measures to ensure durability under higher internal temperatures.
1.6-litre Turbo
The most powerful engine in the Astra's line-up produces 180PS and achieves a specific output of just over 100PS per litre. Available in both SE and sport chassis-equipped SRi models, the 1.6 Turbo is the most powerful series production engine in its displacement class.
The 1.6 Turbo's high power is matched by an impressively wide plateau of torque, with 230Nm available from 2,200rpm to 5,400rpm. With this engine, the new Astra can accelerate from 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds, and from 50-70mph in fifth gear in just 8.4 seconds.
In common with the 1.6 naturally-aspirated engine, the cylinder barrels are laser-etched for minimal piston friction. To withstand higher operating temperatures, the exhaust valves are filled with sodium and under-skirt piston cooling with oil jets is used. A map-based thermostat control raises the coolant temperature at low engine speeds, or under light loads, to help reduce internal lubricant friction and improve fuel consumption.
All Astra diesel engines are fitted with:
- 16-valve, dual overhead camshafts
- A weight-saving aluminum cylinder head
- Threaded intake ports for exceptional 'swirl' and burn characteristics
- Oil jet cooled pistons
- A dual-mass flywheel and a maintenance-free exhaust particulate filter.
The main technical features include:
Common Rail, Multiple Fuel Injection
Operating at high pressures up to 1,800 bar, this sophisticated fuel delivery system ensures extremely fine atomisation in the combustion chamber and enables up to five injection pulses per cycle to extract as much energy as possible from a given amount of fuel. The result is exceptionally low fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, as well as reduced engine noise. Multiple injection helps iron out the strong vibrations associated with compression ignition. For example, a pre-injection during the warm-up period reduces cold-start 'knock' to a barely perceptible level.
Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT)
The pitch of the vanes on the turbine wheel is continuously varied according to engine load and speed, giving an excellent throttle response, particularly during pick up from low speeds.
Improved Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
The electronically-controlled EGR system has an additional cooling function. Electro-pneumatically operated bypass flaps, controlled by the engine management system, ensure that the exhaust gas reaches a temperature suitable for combustion on its way back into the cylinder. This contributes to increased power, as well as reduced emissions.
The diesel line-up comprises:
1.3 CDTi
The 1.3 CDTi delivers 95PS with a maximum power of 190NM at 1750rpm, emitting just 109g/km of CO2.
1.7 CDTi
Available in two states of tune, providing either 110PS and 260Nm of torque, or 125PS and 280Nm. Combined cycle fuel consumption for both is 60.1mpg.
2.0 CDTi
The 2.0 CDTi packs 160PS with an exceptionally strong 350Nm of torque from just 1,750rpm. This helps it achieve a 0-60mph time of just 8.5 seconds and 50-70mph in 6.4 seconds, together with a combined fuel consumption of just 57.6mpg.
Six-speed manual gearboxes, offering a wide spread of ratios and a tall, fuel-saving top gear, are standard fit across the entire range, with the exception of the naturally-aspirated 1.4/1.6-litre engines, all of which have five-speed gearboxes (for optimum fuel economy, these two-shaft units are fitted in preference to a six-speed, three-shaft gearbox). All gearboxes include triple cone synchronization on first and second gears for easy engagement, while the six-speed units also have a synchronized reverse gear.
New Auto for new Astra
An all-new, GM Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission is offered with all petrol engines, except the naturally-aspirated 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre Turbo unit, which are manual only.
Instead of the new auto transmission being 'folded' around the end of a transversely-mounted engine, the gear sets are now on the same axis as the engine crankshaft centreline, which makes the entire powertrain unit much shorter fore-to-aft. This 'on-axis' design provides more compact packaging, allowing enhanced crumple zone performance, increased interior space, and a lower bonnet line than possible with a conventional off-axis design. Shifts are accomplished by applying and disengaging clutches simultaneously, which provides increased functionality and a more direct feel for the driver compared to 'freewheeling' gear change mechanisms.
On the road, a wide selection of shift patterns is adapted to the style and habits of the driver, anticipating when maximum acceleration or maximum efficiency is required. The electronic control will also adapt to the prevailing road conditions, reducing gear shifting when climbing or descending and using engine braking assistance during down changes.
ActiveSelect allows the driver the option of sequential gear selection via the shift lever. The driver also benefits from a "neutral" gear disengagement at idle, which reduces vibration and contributes to improved fuel consumption.
Hydraulically-damped mountings for improved NVH performance
All powertrains are bolted in position via hydraulically-damped mountings that minimize vibration through the body structure. Adaptor plates enable the same four fixing points to be used for all applications, two on the front sub-frame and one on each longitudinal beam.
The fuel supply system uses an electric pump and filter mounted in the 56-litre fuel tank, which is located low under the rear seat for optimal weight distribution and crash impact protection.
- New chassis with longer wheelbase and wider tracks
- Watt's link rear suspension combines superb handling with clever packaging
- FlexRide adaptive suspension offers drivers choice of dynamic settings
- UK-specific steering settings tuned and developed on British roads
The new Astra will not only feature a longer wheelbase and wider tracks for improved stability and ride comfort, but also a rear suspension system combining a compound crank with a Watt's link – the first of its type in the world - that is set to offer drivers class-leading handling and ride comfort.
The Astra's front and rear tracks have been increased by 56mm and 70mm respectively, while its wheelbase has been increased by 71mm, the cumulative effect being improved handling and ride quality, as well as more space and comfort for occupants.
Illustrating Vauxhall's commitment to developing its cars specifically for British roads and drivers, the new Astra has bespoke steering UK settings developed in conjunction with the Vauxhall Engineering Centre, based at GM's Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire.
And continuing Vauxhall's trend for innovation, its engineers have combined the size, weight and efficiency of its own patented compound crank rear axle layout with a cleverly positioned Watt's link, which supports lateral forces during cornering.
The FlexRide adaptive damping system, first seen in the European Car of the Year-winning Insignia and rare in the compact class, adjusts the suspension character automatically depending on drivers' needs, while also offering three programmable damper settings.
Enhancing this sophisticated system is an increase in the Astra's torsional body stiffness of 43 per cent, and of 10 per cent in bending stiffness, compared with the previous Astra, improving the car's handling and ride quality, as well as making a significant reduction in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
Advanced front suspension design and clever Watt's link at rear for superb dynamics
The Astra's new suspension layout combines MacPherson strut front suspension with a clever, newly developed compound crank rear axle with a Watt's link.
Front suspension is by MacPherson strut, with de-coupled top mountings that separate the paths of spring and damper loadings. To reduce unsprung weight and improve weight distribution, the combined strut carrier and the lower control arm are made from aluminium and the anti-roll bar is formed from hollow-section steel.
For optimum stability, the L-shaped control arm is attached through two bushings to the front sub-frame. The suspension geometry, and the tuning of the bushes, is designed to provide both lateral stiffness and longitudinal compliance for excellent handling and good ride comfort. The rearmost bushing of the L-arm is also hydraulically damped for excellent road isolation.
The Astra's unique compound crank/Watt's link rear suspension system has many advantages over a multi-link design, including improved packaging, greater wheel camber stiffness and less lower suspension friction. It also creates less camber loss due to body roll, while the Watt's link ensures that lateral stability is maintained.
The torsion beam of the patented compound crank axle is attached between the trailing links, about half way between the axle bush and the rear wheel. The open, U-shaped profile between the attachment points has now been lengthened and the wall thickness generally increased to provide more roll stiffness. In addition, beams with different wall thicknesses are fitted to give the required roll-steer characteristics.
The Watt's link is carried on a small cross-member attached to the underside of the car, just behind the rear wheel centre line. It comprises a short, pivoting centre link with a ball joint at each end, to which the lateral links from the wheels are bolted.
In a straight line, the set up ensures excellent stability, but during cornering it minimizes lateral deflection in the same way a modern multi-link system would do. Vauxhall's engineers estimate that the new linkage absorbs around 80 per cent of all lateral loadings on the rear suspension. In addition, the Watt's link reduces axle bush loads to allow softer bushings, which further isolate occupants from road noise and vibration.
Bespoke UK steering settings to cater for Britain's unique road infrastructure
Right from the start of the Astra's development, Vauxhall's UK engineering arm recognized that the car needed to fulfill the very specific needs of British drivers travelling on the kind of road surfaces that are not replicated anywhere else in Europe.
Connection, Assistance, Responsiveness, Isolation, and Smoothness were cited as the key fundamentals in the Astra's steering DNA, and after exhaustive testing on the notoriously demanding roads around GM's Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire, Vauxhall has produced a system which provides acceptable assistance levels for a broad spectrum of drivers, while ensuring that the driver feels connected with the road at all times.
The Astra uses a rack and pinion steering system with speed sensitive assistance. But in order to provide drivers with more steering feedback, the system's electric motor is mounted directly on the steering rack, as opposed to the base of the steering column.
The key benefits of using an electric power steering (EPS) are well known. At low speeds, the level of power assistance is increased to minimize steering effort. At higher speeds, assistance is automatically reduced to ensure a high degree of steering feel for the driver. The second important benefit is that because it does not require an energy consuming pump, and responds directly to the amount of power needed at any speeds, fuel consumption is also reduced.

Wario Ware is hilarious. I extremely recomend playing it with friends (and you only need 1 remote)
Hes talking with beers and friends... Im guessing hes over 18 then. Try out the sports games (Madden 08 and Fifa 08 are recommended), hilarious, especially after drinks, trying to do the dam moves and remember all the motions after a few drinks is actually quite hilarious. WiiSports is always an obvious choice, just be careful of furniture/TV/selves. Guitar Hero3 2 player is also great, if you are into that kinda thing. Even consider the Virtual Console, you can get great titles like Gunstar Heroes and Mario Kart 64, always fun multiplayer....
To whoever recommended Metroid and Resi4...theyre only single player lol.

New Marvel 'Big Hero 6' posters show off Baymax and Hiro
A couple of weeks ago, Disney released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming animated Marvel movie, "Big Hero 6," and today they have followed it up with the release of two character posters. The movie is directed by Don Hall ("Winnie the Pooh") and Chris Williams ("Bolt").
You can see both poster images below (one is in Spanish) in all their glory. And, should you not be up-to-date on all things "Big Hero 6," that big white Stay Puft thing is Baymax, a robot created by Hiro Hamada (he's the boy). According to the synopsis for the film, the story will find Hiro and Baymax joining up with a team of reluctant heroes to save San Fransokyo.
The voice cast includes T.J. Miller, Jamie Chung, and Maya Rudolph. Check out the images below and let us know what you think of the look and feel of this Disney/Marvel animated feature. It is certainly appears to be different from the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"Big Hero 6," which is inspired by the comic of the same name, is due in theaters on November 7th, 2014.

We can all get stressed from time to time. Sometimes things really boil over, what MBTI users call 'being in the Grip', but much more often we just have to manage the everyday stresses of life.
In this webinar, Penny Moyle, CEO of OPP, and John Hackston, Head of Research, will take you through how, when we become stressed, an over-reliance on our strengths means that we don't perform at our best, but how an awareness of our MBTI Type will help us to avoid, survive and master the effects of stress. They will also show you how to use new imagery and resources to explain these concepts to others.
You don't need to be a qualified MBTI Practitioner to participate in this webinar, but it will help if you know your MBTI Type preference.
NOTE - There was a sound problem on this webcast so you may want to skip between 14:58 and 17:56. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Mindfulness and resilience are again top of the agenda as key tools to help employees look after their own health. This webinar will explore successful strategies to reduce stress and build resilience.Read more >
Souvent nous nous focalisons sur le problème, sans penser que celui-ci peut être une source d'énergie. Et si nous pouvions recycler le stress? Comment pouvons-nous l'exploiter pour en tirer un avantage ? En quoi le fait de connaitre notre type de personnalité nous donne des leviers au quotidien?
Lors de ce webinaire gratuit, Audrey Costalin, consultante formatrice d'OPP France, abordera la dynamique du stress au travers du MBTI, et expliquera comment optimiser le stress pour non seulement diminuer les tensions, mais aussi pour en faire un élément moteur du succès.
Il n'est pas nécessaire d'être certifié MBTI pour suivre ce wébinaire.
Banks have prepared multi-year financial plans for decades; many with a stress testing component.
Then in 2008-09, in response to the financial crisis, Regulators selected Stress Testing as a key tool for monitoring a bank's financial health. They issued detailed guidance and instigated a rigorous review programme.
6+ years on, banks have spent $millions on Regulatory Stress Tests and built big teams. Yet they struggle to deliver results on time and stress test quality remains poor.
What have Regulators introduced that is so difficult?
What new options do Banks have to meet requirements ?
Concentrations of credit, particularly those related to commercial real estate loans, have been a common factor in bank distress during economic downturns. Since the financial crisis, regulators have been laser focused on ensuring that the nation's largest financial institutions – those with $10+ billion in assets – have sound stress testing and capital planning programs in place to ensure financial stability.
The focus is trickling down to the community bank level and examiners are now asking smaller institutions to have appropriate programs in place. For many community bankers, there is uncertainty as to what examiners expect, as well as a lack of resources and expertise to comply. There is also a misconception about the value of stress testing, with attitudes ranging from "it's a necessary evil" to "it is an integral part of our strategic planning process."
EDR, in partnership with sister company Trepp, is pleased to offer this complimentary webinar "Stress Testing 101 – Best Practices for the Community Banker."
Attendees with get answers to some commonly asked questions, including:
-What is a stress test?
-What is capital adequacy stress testing?
-What are the regulators' expectations?
-What are the larger banks doing?
-What is the current state of stress testing?
-What do stress testing results look like?
-What macroeconomic variables go into projections?
Workplace stress is always a hot topic in the HR press, and even more so currently as organisations push to achieve more with reduced resources and budget. Is the media's portrayal of stress as bad correct – or is stress something we can learn to manage and even harness for positive benefit? Although most of us know what stress feels like, many of us fail to identify the best coping strategies for the productive management of the challenges that we face. And if we have trouble managing our own stress, how can we best support colleagues who experience stress differently?
Penny and John will step through a well-established dynamic model of the stress process and explain how you can build individual and organisational resilience, not only to avoid stress turning into distress, but also to understand when it can be a positive, motivating force.
The co-author of the TKI assessment will provide a deep understanding of how the increasing levels of stress experienced in the workplace can not only prevent people from using the best conflict mode in a given situation (competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, or accommodating), but can also push people to react blindly to conflicts with fight, flight, or freeze.
Join Dr Ralph Kilmann on 5 June to find out how you can help people maintain moderate stress (neither high nor low), enabling them to manage their conflicts mindfully and thus successfully.
In this 40 minute webinar, you will understand how to battle stress by eating the right foods (I will share my top 3 stress fighting foods) and sleeping more. We all experience stress in our jobs and quite often in our home life. In this webinar you will regain control over your stress triggers and understand how to respond to them in a way that nets you more energy and a better mood.Read more >

Great shoe--
I am extremely happy with this purchase. I was not sure of the size etc., bur it was perfect.
My 3rd pair of Barefoot workout shoes! Phenomenal
Great how this design cradles my arch. Throughout my run & workout, I connect to the ground with confident stability.
I absolutely love this hard to find product!!
Merrell's are hard to find as minimalists shoes are becoming or trending towards obsolete. Quick, accurate, shipping and wonderful customer service. I was actually so impressed I purchased all three that were available in my see.
Barefoot with support
My sister recommended I try these shoes because I've had toe pain for about a year. I love the Merrell brand so I gave them a shot. After two days wearing them, I was no longer waking up in the middle of the night with toe pain and could walk around first thing in the morning pain free. Amazing! My sister warned that my feet might ach for a day or two as I adjusted to this "barefoot technology" but it never happened. It's like being barefoot with support! The shoes weigh next to nothing and are incredibly comfortable. I walk several miles every day and have had no issues with my feet.
Great Travel shoe - lightweight and flexible
this is my second pair of Merrell barefoot style of shoe. They are great for travel as they are light and compact to pack. The toebox is really square, so they are also really healthy for your feet. I actually use it while I row as they fit into the shoe in the shell and keep me secure and warm. They are light enough that they dry quickly which is a plus for my purposes as well.

Vengeance In Death (1997)
by J. D. Robb
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Vengeance in Death, the sixth book in J.D. Robb's In Death series is a suspenseful tale of cat and mouse. Eve begins to receive disturbing calls from a man set on revenge. He tells her a riddle and a gives her a time limit to find the next victim before it is to late. While she closes in on her killer, disturbing information arises, connecting someone close to her to the murders.
Each book in the series seems to get better and better. Sometimes the mystery is a bit predictable, but the characters and action carry the story well. The dialogue is always engaging and witty. I enjoyed watching all of them work together to ferret out the who, where, and why of this case.
Eve and Roarke continue to grow in their relationship. I like that they fight about things like a normal couple, then make up and grow from the experience. They make a unique crime fighting duo. Their trip to Dublin to look further into the investigation gave us a glimpse of Roarke's childhood and troubled past. While there, we meet Roarke's friend Brian. He's a fun character and I enjoyed his scenes with the couple very much. I hope we will get to hear from him again in the future.
Also on the subject of character, technology whiz McNab is my favorite new addition to the cast. He made me smile quite a few times and helped lift the heavy tone of such a violent murder case.
I know this is a long series, but It's going to be fun catching up!
Vengeance in Death by J.D. Robb
#6 "In Death" series
The business of death hits close to home for Lt. Dallas this time around when several murders occur which tie into her husband, Roarke's, darker past and implicate his butler, Summerset, as the prime suspect. Whoever the real criminal is, he/she is a technological genius and/or has some inside connections to Roarke's business, home life, and personal history. It will be Eve's job to see beyond the obvious to get to the real truth.
We get a glimpse of Roarke's past as they make a quick trip to Dublin, Ireland, to deliver a body and attend a wake and funeral of an old friend. Hopefully, they will soon be able to return to his homeland for leisure rather than duty.
There are a lot of religious overtones in this one, the murderer a delusional zealot who likes riddles and to play games with Eve, whom he/she sees as an adequate rival, even after she ends up on the killer's list of those whom God has deemed should die for their sins.
"Justice, Eve, is weak and thin without the underpinning of retribution."
A madman who is an expert in computer technology and an obsession with the Virgin Mary haunts the police with cryptic riddles about the crimes he is about to commit. The police solve the riddle but always too late to save his victims' lives. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas found the first victim butchered in his own home and the second in a vacant luxury apartment. The two men had little in common except both had ties to a secret of ten years past, a secret that involves Eve's husband, Roarke. Though the evidence is inconclusive, all clues point to Roarke's faithful butler and Eve's annoying nemesis, Summerset.
This book will draw you in right from the start and keep you hooked until the end. The character development is very well done, the pacing and tension are gripping, and the mystery is fascinating. Vengeance in Death is a worthwhile read. You will enjoy trying to discover the mystery behind the murders, and learning more about Roarke and Summerset's past. The interaction between Ian McNab (from the Electronic Detective Division) with Eve's faithful sidekick, Officer Peabody, will draw sparks. You will definitely like this book, especially if you have already read the previous books in the series.
4 stars. It's a great series that I'm enjoying very much.

He is an expert with the latest technology...a madman with the mind of a genius and the heart of a killer. He quietly stalks his prey. Then he haunts the police with cryptic riddles about the crimes he is about to commit--always solved moments too late to save his victims' lives. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas found the first victim butchered in his own home. The second lost his life in a vacant luxury apartment. The two men had little in common. Both suffered unspeakable torture before their deaths. And both had ties to an ugly secret of ten years past--a secret shared by none other than Eve's new husband, Roarke.

Very cool, but didn't see anything I needed, which is probably a good thing. My wallet is still crying from Heatherette.
Thanks for posting this. I've been lusting after their vintage liquid liners and now I can justify getting a few haha.

Chapel Hill, N.C. -- Dean E. Smith Center
Friday, 8:00 p.m.
ESPNU (Roy Philpott, Fran Fraschilla)
"It's good to see us as a group just be relentless. That's what we were. We'll just play to the whistle. As long as there's time on the clock, we're going full speed. That's what we're going to do." - Holy Cross head coach Milan Brown following his team's double overtime win over Sacred Heart
Season to Date: Holy Cross enters Friday night's contest with a 1-1 record. The Crusaders dropped their season opener to Harvard, 82-72, despite using a 10-1 run to take a 61-60 lead with 5:49 to play. Milan Brown's squad bounced back with a 122-118 double overtime victory over Sacred Heart on Wednesday.
Preseason Accolades: Holy Cross was picked seventh in the Patriot League Preseason Poll, which is voted on by coaches and sports information directors. The Crusaders finished the 2012-13 season with a 12-18 (4-10 Patriot) record.
Dud in the Post: Senior forward Dave Dudzinski is Holy Cross's primary scoring option, averaging 25.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. The 2012-13 second-team All-Patriot League member is converting 54.8 percent of his field goal attempts and 93.8 percent of his free throw attempts. Last season, the 6-foot-9, 227-pounder averaged 15.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per contest. He posted his fifth career double-double with 26 points and 15 rebounds in the Crusaders' win over Sacred Heart.
Stat Crunch: Holy Cross is shooting 44.6 percent from the floor, while allowing opponents to convert at a 48.2 percent clip. The Crusaders are knocking down 43.2 percent of their 3-pointers compared to a 37.2 percent defense effort from beyond the arc. Holy Cross is positive in turnover margin (plus-0.5) yet negative in rebound margin (minus-3.0).
Stat of the Day: Holy Cross and Sacred Heart set Hart Center records in the Crusaders' win on Wednesday. Both teams combined for 77 made free throws on 94 free throw attempts, while Holy Cross made 45 free throws on 56 attempts.
Last Meeting: North Carolina defeated Holy Cross, 83-70, on Dec. 22, 1956 at the old Boston Garden.
Series History: The series is tied at 1-1. The first meeting between these programs occurred at the Dixie Classic in 1952. The Crusaders won 85-73 in Raleigh, N.C. on Dec. 29.

- Conference date: 26–28 June 2012
- Location: Denver, Colorado, USA
The small flotilla of spacecraft: Pioneers 10 and 11 and Voyagers 1 and 2 (V1 and V2) that have traveled from 1 AU to the distant heliosphere continue the quest of Victor Hess to understand the nature of this radiation that comes to us from beyond the confines of our solar system. At this time V1 and V2 are traveling deeper into the heliosheath and approaching its outer boundary - the heliopause. In the heliosheath the intensity of 2.5 - 60 MeV GCR electrons has risen significantly above detector background levels and provides an important new diagnostic tool for exploring cosmic ray transport in this previously unexplored region of space. Over the past seven months the intensity of GCR ions and electrons at V1 have remained constant after a steady, 5.5 year exponential increase whose rate varied with particle species. Is this an indication that V1 is approaching the heliopause?.

Over a few years, the small fortress has grown and in 1863, Akmolinsk (that was the name of the outpost) was declared a district town. By the end of the 19th century, Akmola became a major economic and geopolitical center of the region.
"We give happiness to people! And that's why I love my job! Society development is based on constructing! Construction is a transformation of life!" – Yesenbek Kaliev, head of the Technical supervision department of the "Azbuka zhilya" сompany, "Honorable builder of Kazakhstan".

I have recently been trying to offer help and advice to Hongyin Huo, who recently became a fellow A.net photographer, based in Toronto. He has recently received a badquality rejection for this photo.
There is no doubt that Hongyin's photography and editing skills have been really developing in a short space of time. He would value some further advice and guidance on this particular photo as we are both somewhat unclear as to the specific reason(s) why this photo was rejected on quality grounds (as opposed to, say, motive).
I know he would value any advice colleagues can offer.
Thanks very much on Hongyin's behalf.

iShares Silver Trust ETFNYSEARCA
Fri, Oct. 7, 4:56 PM
Fri, Oct. 7, 11:49 AM
- The metal climbed to nearly $1,270 per ounce in the minutes following this morning's jobs miss, but quickly came off of that level, and has accelerated to the downside in the past few minutes.
- It's now down 0.6% on the session at $1,245 per ounce, the weakest since the early days of June. GLD -0.8%
- Silver's moving similarly, down 0.65% to $17.23 per ounce. SLV -1.1%
- ETFs: GLD, SLV, IAU, AGQ, PSLV, PHYS, USLV, SIVR, SGOL, ZSL, UGL, DGP, GTU, UGLD, GLL, DZZ, SLVO, GLDI, DSLV, OUNZ, DGL, DBS, DGZ, DGLD, GYEN, USV, GEUR, UBG, QGLDX, DULL, SHNY
Thu, Oct. 6, 10:48 AM
- The 10-year Treasury yield is up another three basis points to 1.73%, its highest level since the start of the summer. On the short end, futures traders have priced in about a 90% chance of a rate hike between now and year-end.
- Tomorrow morning brings September's jobs report and it seems only a string of terribly weak prints would be enough to push the Fed off of its promise to raise rates this year.
- Gold is lower by another 1% to $1,255 per ounce - now off nearly $100 per ounce over the past couple of weeks. GLD -1%
- Silver today is down 2.25% to $17.30 per ounce - almost $3 per ounce less than its level of two weeks ago. SLV -2.7%
- ETFs: GLD, SLV, IAU, AGQ, PSLV, PHYS, USLV, SIVR, SGOL, ZSL, UGL, DGP, GTU, UGLD, GLL, DZZ, SLVO, GLDI, DSLV, OUNZ, DGL, DBS, DGZ, DGLD, DBP, GYEN, USV, GEUR, JJP, UBG, BLNG, QGLDX, DULL, SHNY

Wed, Sep. 28, 4:01 PM
- With investors this quarter pouring more than $625.5M into the iShares Silver Trust (NYSEARCA:SLV) - the largest quarterly amount since 2010 - holdings in ETFs backed by silver have climbed to their highest ever, according to Bloomberg.
- The popularity surge comes as silver has rallied 39% this year.
- ETFs: SLV, AGQ, PSLV, USLV, SIVR, ZSL, SLVO, DSLV, DBS, USV, DULL, SHNY

Mon, Aug. 1, 9:18 AM
- Silver futures are strong in early trading as they track toward a two-year high.
- September Silver futures are up 1.2% to $20.58/oz.
- "Silver has come back into relative value [with gold] over the last 30 years," notes Sharps Pixley CEO Ross Norman.
- Silver ETFs: SLV, AGQ, PSLV, USLV, SIVR, ZSL, SLVO, DSLV, DBS, USV
Sun, Jul. 31, 4:15 AM
- Barron's interviews Jim Grant, founder of Grant's Interest Rate Observer.
- Grant is bullish on metals, including Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX), Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM), Goldcorp (NYSE:GG), New Gold (NYSEMKT:NGD), and Pan American Silver (NASDAQ:PAAS): "Gold stocks have come a long way. But many were priced for bankruptcy, notably Barrick Gold, an encumbered mining company priced at $6 at the bottom, as if its debt would not be paid. Now the stock is $20. I personally own Newmont Mining, Goldcorp, and New Gold.
- "I'm very bullish on the metal, bullish on miners. Bears on credit finally get paid in gold. At the end of the road to confetti, gold will reclaim some position as an active monetary asset, not a crank's asset. It is now a relatively high-yielding asset, yielding, as it does, nothing.
- "We are also bullish on silver. It is the crazy uncle in the attic of monetary assets. It is as volatile as Donald Trump. It has industrial uses as well as monetary ones, which will come to the fore as the gold bull market progresses. In June, we recommended Pan American Silver (PAAS) and long-dated, out-of-the-money call options on the silver exchange-traded fund iShares Silver Trust (NYSEARCA:SLV).
- Grant is bearish on Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC), Campbell Soup (NYSE:CPB), and United Rentals (NYSE:URI): "One idea that hasn't worked yet is being bearish Big Food. Both are indicative of one form of excess, reaching for yield in equities. Campbell is trading for 23 times trailing net income, and Kraft is 46 times. Both are battling new trends in eating."
- Other ETFs: GLD, IAU, PHYS, SGOL, UGL, DGP, GTU, UGLD, GLL, DZZ, GLDI, OUNZ, DGL, DGZ, DGLD, GYEN, GEUR, UBG, QGLDX
Wed, Jul. 6, 6:58 PM
- Gold rallied in today's trade to its highest price since March 2014, and holdings by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSEARCA:GLD) rose to 31.6M oz. for its biggest total in three years, picking up speed on reports that three U.K. commercial property funds worth ~£10B had suspended trading.
- "The bull market in gold and silver is all about negative real interest rates, currency market volatility and failed central-bank policy worldwide," says Altavest's Michael Armbruster.
- UBS analysts think gold's rise is not over, because it thinks the serious money has not come in yet: "Our sense is that individual positions are not particularly large, but rather the extent of involvement has been quite expansive. It's also worth noting that despite the very strong inflows into gold ETFs YTD, global holdings are still some distance away from record highs."
- Not everyone agrees: OptionSellers.com's James Cordier thinks gold will drop to $1,200-$1,250 by year-end because the metal is acting as a currency and will return to acting like a commodity "once the hysteria slows."
- ETFs: GDX, SLV, IAU, AGQ, PSLV, PHYS, USLV, SIVR, SGOL, ZSL, UGL, DGP, GTU, UGLD, GLL, DZZ, SLVO, GLDI, DSLV, OUNZ, DGL, DBS, DGZ, DGLD, GYEN, USV, GEUR, UBG
Tue, Jul. 5, 12:30 PM
Fri, Jul. 1, 4:26 PM
Wed, Jun. 29, 3:13 PM
- Equity markets appear to have moved past the Brexit panic, but that doesn't mean money is exiting gold. The metal is modestly higher today, and mostly hasn't budged from its post-vote levels of Friday.
- At $1,327 per ounce, gold is at its highest in two years.
