Would have thought the Elite would be softer than say the VXR 2.8 V6 Turbo 4x4 and .

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

..... But the TAX is a killer on these 2.8s...

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..

So the interior is just as big a mess as the exterior. Look at it; swoopy bits, straight bits, metal, leather, plastic, etc etc.

And shit brown leather too! What were they they thinking?

It's just life dragging down my natural sunny optimism. That and the original sludgy green vinyl(including the headlining!) interior in my Avenger has scarred me for life.

What if I added that the Insignia interior pictured is MUCH better looking than recent Fords which look like an explosion in a mobile phone factory.
