Agreed. Almost Insignia ugly in fact. ;)

Steady on Mr Opti... :o

The Insignia is rather svelte in its styling...



If you're registered blind ;D

I followed one today. From the rear it looks like a mongrel taking a shit. That's the kindest thing I can say about the Insignia's troubled looks.

Even STMO's Daewoo is less offensive to my Retina. :)

They do shift though. Tdi v10 option (is it?) on one I encountered the other day. Not so good in the corners though, so had to call it a draw :(

I'm forever seeing Omega's around here! :y :y :y

When I go for any length of drive around Ashford I usually see at least one. In fact I saw one the other day, one I have seen there before,  in the Sainsbury's car park. In addition, there is a pre-facelift and a facelift parked outside houses within a mile of me. :D :D

So not too rare for me - yet! 8)

As a matter of interest my friendly Vx dealership desk man told me this morning his father in law has an immaculate (no-rear wing rot) 3.0 24V Senator that has only done 27K since new and it is one of the last batch of 30 built. Being a nosey Senny fan I will in due course find out a lot more, maybe making an offer he can't refuse! 8) 8) :D :D :D ;)

I live in your neck of the woods Mr Opti, and I'm always seeing Omegas. And yes, I realise that my own cars do not count!  ;D

Lizzie is a girl who can afford an immaculate low mileage Senator like I can afford a bag of sugar. :)
