Just few days ago we showed you spy photos of the 2009 BMW Z4 wearing swirl-patterned vinyl wrapped camo. Now artist Jon Sibal has created a rendering based on the recent spy photos what the 2009 BMW E89 Z4 might look like once officially introduced.

Here it is again, the new Astra testing in southern Europe. Rumor is the same car will also be badged as Saturn and Holden in addition to Opel and Vauxhall. Looking at the photos and the teaser Opel sent it seems that the new Astra will be getting daytime LEDs. We brought you first spy photos of the new Astra back in May. Why are they still testing the same car almost four months later is hard to understand.
In addition to the 5-door model pictured, the Astra lineup will get an estate(Caravan by Opel), convertible, and a 3-door called GTC. We should see the new Astra at next years Frankfurt Motors show.
