So let me get this straight, you are basically saying that a 2.0 litre diesel Insignia can get from 0-62mph in about the same time as a 220bhp 3 litre V6 Mondeo ST220 ? ....ok

And as for beautiful, well that's a mighty strong word, I would say an Aston Martin DB7/DB9 is beautiful ...or a Jaguar E-Type, or a number of earlier Ferrari's and Alfa's ...not really a word I would apply to a Vauxhall saloon car to be honest.

It does look 'interesting' though, I hope they do make it. I must say the centre console looks a bit 'Japanese' ...sort of a Mecca for buttons.

yer Hi azab is in order here.

Is this now the standard greeting for anyone making a stupidly ridiculous claim on the forums?
 
I quite like it but would I buy it, well no, after owning 2 lemon Vauxhalls (Cavalier (sp?) and Vectra) I think not :)

In real life the care looks stunning. He has it in technical grey i think.

Wonderful car, Vauxhall only did one mistake which was the Vectra, so i forgive them

I've got an Insignia 2.0 SRi CDTi as a hire car, and it is nowhere near as fast as you claim - and lets not forget hire cars are the fastest cars on earth ;). Other than that, it is actually a lot better than I expected.

Admittedly the Sat Nav is ruined by omitting a touch screen in favour of a fiddly scroll wheel system, but the switchgear seems markedly better than the Vectra - although the console layout is a little cumbersome - the front seats are nicely supportive too.

It drives way better than the Vectra, and other than the back seats, awkward boot and rather noisy engine it is pretty much a match for the latest Mondeos.

I had been expecting (and dreading) a 1.6 Citroen Picasso, so getting a delivery mileage Insignia was a bit of a result :)

Ford USA is moving in the right direction and bringing over the decent Euro cars as well.

I thought it had gone the other way and they had dropped things like the mk2 Euro Focus plus the Mondeo and built their own cars on the older platforms?
