What's peoples' takes on the forthcoming Vx Insignia (Vectra replacement)?

My opinion is that it's quite nice and certainly better than the new Mondeo (which is somehow bland and a bit strange looking at the same time), but that it's nowhere as nice looking as GM are hyping it as.

The fact that it's named after a cheap after shave puts me off.  

Then again, "Mondeo" is hardly a work of genius in the naming department.

I have difficulty getting excited about new cars, TBH. Not sure if it's just that my tastes are old-fashioned or that I know that, regardless of looks, it's bound to have a dull, uninvolving FWD chassis underneath.

The new Mondeo is certainly about as bland as they come, IMHO. Just a slightly pregnant Focus.

New Citroen C5 looks pretty nifty, and light years better than the monstruous Mk1.

Its actually a very good chassis which is 4x4 capable so watch this space for big blown petrol and diesel engines.

But named after an 80's aftershave is a put off!

But then I also couldn't buy something with the same name as a washing machine motor powered plastic 80's fad....

Yes, with the same "tupperware" feel to the build quality too.

For the new Mondeo..Front design nice..But backside..Really Ugly..

And the insignia..Overall design is good but nothing new..

Sure is a better car than the old vectra..

It seems designers are desperately trying (old) new things
