But even a wheezy 1.6hdi estate C5 II can doo 115 mph on the autobahn ::)
Exactly. So gutless PoS.  And corners or braking. How well does it do in that (worse than poor, I already know).

I guess you've mostly driven run to the ground, neglected examples then...

So is this now the Peugeot Omega Owners Forum now?

We could just shorten it down to...... Oh no, hang on, scrub that.

If you holiday in France, its usually between one of those or the only marginally better, but slightly smaller Laguna.

This is why I prefer to drive my own car they if possible ;D

My old boss had a v6 petrol C5 from nearly new. Equally dire.  The chassis and body is connected to the wheels in Slinkys. He only had it a few months due to poor reliability, and the fact he could see we were both going to die when I fogot we were in a joke car.  Replaced it with an older soot chucker Mundano. Much, much nicer to drive briskly, even though not as quick off the line.

The only Citroen I've ever liked is the DS19 all the modern ones do absolutely nothing for me.

It will be interesting to see what GM will do to replace the Opel vehicles in the Buick and Holden lines now. And also if the new Insignia will still be the new Commodore, which I would think at this point it will still be. This changes a lot for GM. Lots of new things to come for sure.

Carry on building them... in Thailand, Canada and Mexico... much like they do now ::)

And before you say New Insignia, that is a BUICK product that happens, or rather was going, to be rebadgedbuilt in Russelheim :-X

While I'm not a fan of the French takeover getting rid of the Vauxhall name would probably be a bad move.
Back in the 80s Vauxhall dealers sold both Vauxhall and Opel, British buyers weren't that  interested in the Opel product despite being identical.
People on here are saying Vauxhall make rubbish, Luton is building vans for VX, Opel, Nissan and Renault and elsmereport is producing the Astra and 2.8 V6 powering the insignia VXR. Is this really rubbish?

Hopefully  :y

Seen a few shots of it, looking like VW CC. But not sure if that's just a special like the Ford Mondeo Vignale  :-\
