Yeah ,looks nice but take away the lower swage line and fit real world wheels and tyres and it's all VW/BMW/Audi/Merc.
Another German designed clone car me thinks.....

Actually it's the replacement for the Vectra, nothing replaced the Omega unless you count the Signum  ::).

If you want RWD in the future I don't think it'll be a GM car.  :'(

Looks ok cant say much without knowing about it. Just looks like any other euro-box out there. You can spot an Omega a mile away that could be any ones car. :( :( :(

If it aint RWD it aint an Omega replacemrnt then, as mentioned above it is the replaceplacement for the Vetra if it's FWD.

 ::) Anyone (like I) whom are tall will have a heck of a time getting-in without grazing their scalp in either the front or the back seats of the Insignia; just look at the shallowly-raked rooflines. :'(

The Miggy`s generous portals and capacious interior are hard (if not impossible) to equal IMHO. ;)

I repeat below what I placed under a different thread, but there is no mention of anything bigger than a V6 currently.

"I have just recieved a simple introductory  brochure on this car which gives brief details of, I quote:

"....three petrol engines - from 140PS to a 260PS V6, and two new 2.0 litre direct-injection diesels - 130PS and 160PS. All Euro 5 compliant and all with six-speed transmissions-manual and auto"

Personally I would love to have it with a big V8 engine, but is any of us going to be able to afford to fill it with petrol or pay the inflated road tax?! :'( :'(

Looks horrible. I preferred the cleaner look of past German cars. Now they all look like Bizarro Japanese nightmares. Accents and contours for no reason. German cars used to be Function over Form. Now it's all show. You used to be able to tell a BMW or MB from any angle. Now they may as well be Hyundais. Me, I'll take an older, uglier, mid-2K BMW. Even a 2005 Audi looks better to me than the latest crop from Munich and Stuttgart.
