New Vauxhall Insignia

Fothsn · 20 Apr 2008 at 18:49

Just looking through the Top Gear website and came across an article mentioning the new Vauxhall Insignia which replaces the Vectra and IMO looks very nice

Not too sure on the dashboard though looks little on the dull side...

looks great

and vauxhall usually follow through on their concepts as well. The new asta and the astra concept were very closely related so hopefully the car on dealers forecourt should look almost the same.

Just hope they dont unlearn the lessons of the last vectra that finally had handling suitable for UK roads.

Is that a Nissan 350z badge on the steering wheel?

You mean the Opel badge that Vauxhall use in other countries?

Looks good at least... will wait for some reviews. Promising though.

Not just me who thought that then

Wow! The've replaced the V grill with something almost as bad!, the rear is horrid as well. Side profile is "okay"

looks great I think! Too many buttons on the interior though lol

Gaygle · 20 Apr 2008 at 20:02

looks good, but jebus, how many buttons did they have to put in the centre section?!

EDIT: lol i obviously wasn't the only one who thought this ^^^

Was reading about this in the Sun the other day, according to them when it an unbadged concept was shown people mistaken it for a 5 series.

No 5 series, but looks nice for a vauxhall.

Is it me, or does it have a wiff of BMW type style?

FirebarUK · 20 Apr 2008 at 20:12

Wiffs of new A4, 3 Series and Citroen C5.

Kappa · 20 Apr 2008 at 20:13

just noticed if you get rid of the vauxhall badge on the front it looks a bit like a mercedes!

Alex UK · 20 Apr 2008 at 20:14

Doesn't look too bad for a Vauxhall, though we know it wont be as good as the Mondeo.

Muncher · 20 Apr 2008 at 20:15

Rear end is very much BMW 6 series!
