Whatever people's opinions of the current model is, I think most would admit it has aged well, and this new model not being a massive shift from the old, visually, does bear this out. Also think it's a more cohesive design than the Mondeo, which looks just a little too slug-like in its stance, especially as the preview model was such a triumph, aesthetically.

Many don't but I've always liked the V-grille, and now it's dead and buried I always look at the newer Opel/Vx designs and think 'that would look that bit nicer with a little chrome V' so I've chucked on a little photoshoppy roughed out one.  :)

I'm disappointed that they haven't yet managed to stretch the acres of nasty plastic rear bumper forward and round the whole car so they can do away with all the non-tupperware bodywork, TBH.   ::)

Well, to go against the grain, and against 99% of posts on this forum about any car younger than whatever-year-they-stopped-making-the-omega:

I rather like it  :). If they make one that runs on real fuel (with a 0-60 time of less than a week) and if the interior doesn't feel like its made of wheelie bin plastic, I'd seriously consider the tourer as a future replacement for the bimmer.  :y

I quite like it. It has a sophisticated 'grown up' appearance.

It is certainly far more attractive than the old Insignia, which looked like a dollop of something that came from a dog's arse.
