Not a single piece of garnish on that that won't bolt straight onto a 2009 car...

Aye true, But does look better finished off than the PFL Insignia though.

This looks like a mouse pad the type on a laptop sort of thing

It is. 


No matter how many shiny necklaces you place around a wrinkly neck, the neck will still look like a oversized ballbag.

Gopping.

a Knob would have been safer how are you supposed to use that while driving

It's something us RHD countries will have to put up with (if you are Right Handed).  It's there so you can 'sketch' a letter for the address input of the SatNav etc, just like you do with the Philips and NCDC SatNav, but not needing to scroll through a stupid list.  In theory, it's an excellent idea, but I'm right handed and would have liked the touchpad on my R/H Side.

OK, I can see some changes to the centre console, but the rest of the interior and the exntire exterior looks no different...

Most people are Right Handed i'd have imagined (ok for rest of Europe then ), The passenger will have to do it on the move then or pull over and sit in the passenger seat in the UK

At least it's not Voice Control - Nothing voice controlled has ever worked, ever..... not even the wife! 

edit:  The bint doesn't read OOF, that's how brave I am!

If I HAD to have an Insignia I'd want a large capacity PETROL engined version comparable to my 3.0 Omega Elite. It seems though that if I want a large petrol engine, I'd have to have four wheel drive (but suspect that it's part time 4 x 4  ) and pot hard Nurburgring derived suspension.

Would have thought the Elite would be softer than say the VXR 2.8 V6 Turbo 4x4 and its adaptive 4x4 i believe puts the power when its losing grip on the wheels that needs the power i think.. Better 4x4 than FWD wouldn't touch a FWD with as much power as these have.. But the TAX is a killer on these 2.8s...

Is there a petrol version? There seems to be loads powered by the Fuel of the Devil

It's no more than my R Class's

Yeah the 2.8 Turbo V6 Petrol is in the Elite and VXR both in Automatic and Manual.

EDIT: This is the current top of the range Insignia... Something like this..

Aye true, But does look better finished off than the PFL Insignia though.

Not really, those seats were a £3500 option pack on the early SRIs

Like the dash clocks, centre console, Bose... Seats look the same as previous model.

EDIT: It's just better finished off this FL by the looks of it exterior and interior IMHO.
