I've driven a signum its a very nice drive but as mark said they depresiate very quick, i was watching a Top gear last year and they said something about vaux stopping making the monaro (shame) hope they dont
chrysler 300c is very nice and they are going to be bringing out a 6.1 v8 425 bhp hemi SRT-8

I wouldn't buy an american petrol engine as their thermal efficiency is as good as 20 years ago. I really like the monaro but with 22mpg on the motorway, no thanks. If i would win the Lotto then i would definately have one. I forgot to mention the vectra VXR, it very nice pity it has one of the ugliest dashboards on the market.

If I won the lotto, I think I can find something more fun that anything GM produce...

Shame the Vectra VXR doesn't go round corners....

I can get you discount on a new Saab just had the prices through Saab 9-3 sport wagon Linear 1.8i free upgrade to linear sport £16,083
Saab 9-5 Saloon 2.0t Linear sport £17,362 a saving of £4,905 - how many Omega's could Ronnie get for that money  ;D

Its basicaly a front wheel drive Vectra estate which looks better than a Vectra estate.

Good equipment levels and depreciate quite quick so cheap to buy......but, its a Vectra estate (although the latest Vectra is very good all be it a bit bland and nothing like as naff as the last one!)

Thats why you want the Saab 93 2.8V6 Turbo......plus it handles better than the Vectra!

I looked into a Passat W8  4 motion..... Permanent 4 wheel drive and a 4 litre engine.. :o..... It ticks all the boxes for me and the thing I really like about it is that it looks very similar to a normal run of the mill Passat and oh what fun could be had if the badges just happen to fall off the boot nobody would know what power it holds under the bonnet... ;)
