After seen in shots just the other day, the 2016 Opel Astra, or the Astra K, is popping up in our news again, this time with some disturbing news, according to which the model might not attend the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

Officials from the German based carmaker have not given a strong reason for which the model would not be launched in Geneva, as they stated that only the Opel KARL, the company`s min-5 door entry level will get to the auto show.

We might think that Opel has changed its plans of launching the new Astra this March, because of some issues with the test mule, or simply put, the model is not ready to face the world debut.
