But to answer the question , V8 consumptions are not for every budget..

Insignia more logical..

Even if its the V6 turbo??  ::)

V6 turbos will not differ from V8 but honestly these are not daily cars for usage .. At least under those economic conditions.. :-/

Just don't get an Insignia V6 turbo with autobox 'cause it really doesn't suit it, you have to floor the pedal to the kickdown switch to get it to drop down a gear whereas the Omega seems to drop down just when you need it to without having to floor the throttle.

Hopefully GM will take a look at the software on the box and make some tweaks.

According to VX, you can only have the 2.8 with an automatice transmission, the manual is greyed out when you choose that engine.

Will probably only exist on plod spec!
I'm really not impressed with the box on the 2.8

Well if its a plod option, wonder how hard it will be to persuade them to do it as a consumer option...

See, I like the interior in the Insignia, looks lush!  The VXR8 is quite bland...

But the VXR8 has the V8 and the sound of hell itself with the Wortec exhaust!

I did a quick google, there are a few sites claiming on a V8 insignia... but its just pure rumours...
