Insignia
« on: 12 January 2009, 17:43:10 »

We went and had a look at the new Insignia at our local Vauxhall dealer on Sunday...............Nice car.............looks like a 6 seies BMW from the back...........................and a 3 and 5 series BMW from the side.

Very nicely screwed together in my opinion...........better than a Omega in this respect I think.

Big tyres even the 1.8 had 245/45 boots on it. :o :o

Prices ......about £18000...........for the 1.8 ............£21500..........for the 2.0 turbo...................give it a year or eighteen months.....and I think we will be looking at about half that. :y :y :y

sign of chassis defiencies?  Possibly not, just trying to make initial models more appealling, before the budget models come along soon.

last year when I looked on the VX site, they had the whole 'Design and Build' - you could build one up from £15k...

that side view on the VX website doesn't do it any favours - looks like two different cars cut and shut  >:(

maybe i'd be tempted with one of the 4x4 ones in a few years - dont try and look like a cross between a lexus and a beemer - you end up looking stupid - obviously the marketing guys are playing the percentages - but is that the best they can come up with?

very dull looking

Nanny state encapsulated in a car IMO. Surely if you can drive, you can read the speed limit signs, then CHOOSE to break the speed limit - as I usually do.  :y
