Astra is a model name that has been used by Vauxhall, the
British subsidiary of Adam Opel AG, since 1979. The Astra name
originated with Vauxhall's 1980 model, although the car had
originally been launched almost a year earlier as the Opel Kadett.
This model replaced the Vauxhall Viva in the UK, along with some
versions of the Chevette. However, the Chevette (itself based on
the previous generation Kadett) remained available as a budget
alternative for several years afterwards, until the Nova was
launched. The Astra was Vauxhall's first model to have front wheel
drive and rather confusingly in the British market, both the Kadett
and the Astra were sold alongside each other until the
consolidation of Opel and Vauxhall dealerships in the early 1980's,
when the Opel badged versions were dropped.
