I love the rears of both saloon and estate, not so keen on vertical grilles.
One question- are there no fogs or is it just me being blind?  :-?

you know, i think you're right - look at other insignias - the front fogs are set in the bumper directly below the headlights.......don't see them on the VXR at all - cept, as you say in those fang vents at the front - mesh with a cutout and keep section above - now i know GM have lost a shedload of money - but they can't be that cheap can they?  ;D

makes three. although vauxhall don't like it when you call their 'tourer' "Small"!!

I stood next to the standard tourer and said 'is this the estate?' and the wandering salesperson said, "the tourer, yes" and then looked shocked when I replied that it was a bit small.

'Deceptive' he called it. 25% smaller load space than my current Vauxhall I call it  :-?  ;D ;D

makes 4 - looks a bit Saab-ish from the rear - maybe they borrowed a design or two from the saab bin?
