Nice looking car, very well set up, etc, etc.

It's just a shame the Germans & the Japs make a much better job of it, while still keeping the price affordable.

Yes the vid makes it look good but it's only a tarted up Veccy (yuk) replacement. I asked about them on here & got the answer. placcy dash & not a Mig replacement but a Veccy(yuk) replacement hence i'm suddenly seeing so many on the road.
    Ponced up repmobile & yes the arse end looks awful. Common as muck already.

Hmm, I do like the new Insignia, especially the VXR version, but you just know they'd be worth £5k tops in 4-5yrs time.  They'd be an excellent 2nd hand buy, but not wise to buy brand-new IMHO...

Every time I go to the local dealers for bits for my Mig, they always comment on how the Omega is the best car they've ever made, and that they should never have stopped making them etc etc.

First the Carlton, then the Senny, then the Mig - Vauxhall has always had a top-of-the-range flagship that's seriously underrated, but over time the quality of them does tell.  Unfortunately, there's nothing in the current Vauxhall line-up that could tempt me into parting with my Mig in a few years time...  :(

Obviously!  ;D  Although a mate of mine is one of our boys in blue, and he says that the lads in Traffic always say that the Senny was the best patrol car they've ever had, followed by the Mig. 

I've never had the honour of driving one myself, but have always admired them  :y
