[cdxi]

Check out www.autoblog.com (http://www.autoblog.com) for official pics and basics of the new Insignia.

Wouldn't this look great in the Australian sunshine, Mr Reuss????

[Huhness]

interior looks great (without the woodgrain)

Not a bad car!!

[Calibrated]

Awesome!

now if only holden will catch a wake up.

Yeh, I just did a quick one for a discussion starter.

[astralogical]

would look great as a holden I think. Leap years ahead of the Epica. Although the more you look at the holden line the more they're going away from the sleek euro look and they're moving towards the sharp lined "american" blocky look. Epica, Commodore, Barina. I just hope they see that the Epica didn't sell and they need to compete with the Mondeo which is a nice car.

Dont mind the rear and profile. Not sure about the chunky front end.

[rjastra]

Hmmm... every other manufacturer is going for sharper lines and Opel is going for the blob look. Pass.

[Red AH SRI T]

i'd hardly call it a blob. I like it

[Wraith]

I couldn't find it in the link from the 1st post ??

From those first 2 pics in astralogicals post - I don't like what I see... :sick: :(

That Ford looks much nicer...

[USC]

ford looks very much like an aston martin.

Opel is trying to imitate Koreans...that car looks very much like it has korean blood running through its veins...lol -- looks like the epica a lot.

What's with the Ford Wheels????

Hmm, dunno - maybe have to see it in the flesh (fat chance) but doesn't appeal to me. Veccy C was better.

yeah... they are focus wheels!!

Noop... they're the current optional 19's overseas, including South Africa I think. Similar snowflake design to the XR5 and X5

I put up an entire thread about them a while ago...

They're not that new either. They had them on the SRi-T at last years Melbourne International Motor Show.
