OMG Rybo, you're such a chav!

Brap, but I like that The inner boyo never leaves us lol.

So many bent intercooler fins, what has been seen cannot be unseen

and don't worry I spent days straightening them with tooth picks and then kebab sticks, used to charge a fair bit for it and it was very therapeutic work

Wanna do mine? Come knock your socks off.

 

[dacads]

That must be loud

Bodywork definitely looks in good nick

I find it easier to chant in a low voice

"front mount"
"front mount"
rinse repeat

 

[Yaayuh!]

Black wheel on black car

I have something very much like this on order. Should be here in May.

Here's my old Datsun 350Z. Had her about 6 months now, had wanted one for years. Done a few bits and bobs to "make my own", very good fun and responsive to drive. I would say excellent value for money at the moment, cost/performance wise. Also many of these cars have been well looked after so plenty of good examples out there! Just a shame the tax is ridiculous

I thought that was a BMW at first!

Interestingly that's what some people said about the first generation Insignia when it was launched in 2008.

Do u live round there? The Great Orme is great for some fun driving I'll give it that. Even more so in the dark lol

Not on the Orme but close. First time I've ever driven round it despite walking/cycling round a number of times. Will get up and take some better pictures in summer.

Lovely looking Scoob Rybo

Doesn't look too bad from the outside, need to see the interior though!

Same then I saw insignia and had to check the picture again

Ideal for everyone who hates those stuck-on tablet style infotainment screens...

Apparently you sit much lower than in the current car.

It's similar to the new Astra which I found worked pretty well. Favourite feature was the automatic heated seats which are also available on this car.

 

[Rybo89]

looks great if you ask me.

I like that, nice to see a manufacturer ditching the retarded iPad approach to screens!

Is there any option for a digital instrument cluster?

 

[Akagi]

Looks smart, but theres no mistaking it for a BMW on the inside thats for sure.

The image I posted has the 8" instrument cluster - same as the option on today's car. It's only a partial one, but it looks pretty good. I've had cars with and without it. It's customisable with a few different layouts available.

As nice as the new Insignia looks let's not forget these images are going to be from the top spec model and are not representative of the 99% of povert spec models that will soon litter the motorways complete with a nice 140bhp tractor engine, drab cloth grey interior and 16 inch casters for wheels.
Everytime I see the current Insignia or the new Mondeo in standard form I cringe at the tiny wheels on them that just spoil the whole car. Imo any new biggish car should come with at least 18's on nowadays
I have a feeling a VXR model would look epic in that new shape though let's hope they produce one

 

[Akagi]

17" would be fine.
