			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been lucky enough to be invited by the guys at <a title="Torque Astra" href="http://www.torqueastra.com/" target="_blank">Torque Astra</a> to attend a test day at Millbrook for the launch of the all new Vauxhall Astra. We’re going to be test driving the car on the 5th December and I’ll be bringing you a full review of the day.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1680" title="Millbrook Proving Ground" src="http://drivingspirit.com/storage/2009/11/millbrook-proving-ground.jpg" alt="Millbrook Proving Ground" width="500" height="331" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;ll be interesting to see how the Astra drives, as a good base model always bodes well for the hotter versions in the range &#8211; just look at how the Focus and Mk5 Golf turned things around from their dull predecessors. The current Astra VXR is a great drive, and if the promised chassis improvements on the new Astra are borne out then the next VXR could be a corker.</p>
<p>In the meantime, if you’re interested in finding out more about the Astra take a wander over to <a title="Torque Astra" href="http://www.torqueastra.com/" target="_blank">Torque Astra</a> for all of the latest news, updates and chat.</p>
