Absolutley beautiful....Make no mistake this car is gonna be a winner.
Look at the new Mondeo it's positivly banal in comparison to this.
GM have designed a car that is aesthetically on par with VAG and even Jaguar, just look at the new XF saloon.
I'll just hang on to my Omega estate until these are three years old.
Love it.........

the front is Volvo/Audi-esque

the body looks to busy ,too many lines stand out where the panels meet , not that VX are really going to care what i think. It might just be that color tho  :-/ :-/ :-/

I think this is a stunning looking estate car but then, like anything else, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ::) It's certainly no where near as large as the Omega estate but then I guess it's more a replacement for the Vectra rather than the Omega.

in all honesty it is the first estate car I have ever looked at that I haven't though is absolutely vile. (I don't like estates they're for old people, campers and dog-owners!) no offense anyone.....

I actually quite like this car and the saloon is just stunning :) I wonder how big my payrise will be this time round... all wheel drive tdi sounds nice to mee :)
