It is not a replacement for the Omega more of a replacement for the Vectra and is it not front wheel drive ::)

Due to be available in 2.8 twin scroll turbo 4x4.....now that I WOULD consider!

IMHO Opel/Vauxhall did themselves no favours when they dropped the Omega format. It was the only car that could touch BMW/Mercedes in terms of driveability. I now have a Vectra 1.9CDTi auto Elite for my sins and it is simply crap in every possible way.

This Insignia needs to be really good to get anywhere near what the Omega is or was; the 4x4 may be the only hope.

My opinion on real driver's cars; German RWD cars are the best (Omega V6/BMWs/Mercs) - I don't like to drive FWD Audis, though they are nicely built.

I'm not keen. Looks like any other mass produced car. Looks like a hyundai from the rear.  :(
