The Chevy Astro I concept:

(Thanks, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! )  This was a car where it appears that you enter by crawling under the hood. And it was beautiful.

The Chevy Astro II Concept:

This was one of the cars that started rumors of mid-engined Corvettes. Pretty neat.

The Chevy Astro III Concept:

It was basically a three-wheeler, but the front tire was a dually, giving it four tires. It also had a lifting canopy and a turbine engine, plus headlights that pop out of the sides!

The production Chevy Astro:

Proof that the production car is never as cool as the concept...

But the Astro III looks like it came from Star Wars...

Astro I was forgotten. It had one of the weirdest doors ever installed into an automobile.

But it look very very fast.

I wondered if there was an Astro I, but google only gave me pictures of vans. Thanks for the pics, that is a bizarre way to enter a vehicle...

Are you insinuating that Astro Vans aren’t cool? Cause my childhood begs to differ, luckily myself and my family survived 3 of them and are able to tell the stories .

More like Battlestar Galactica.

The Astro III is literally an aerodynamic Tractor

The GMC Astro:

Best experienced with a screaming two-stroke Detroit Diesel in the doghouse.

Just not as cool as the other Astros....

From that angle if you squint, maybe, though I think it’s entirely too low, flat, wide, and pointy to really look like a penis. And the “nuts” are entirely the wrong shape...

I'll accept that.
