Insignia's now official

[cdxi]

No more leaks...

Here it is at www.autoblog.com (http://www.autoblog.com)

I'll have the diesel 6spd manual AWD...in a hatch. Worthy successor to the CDXi.

Anyone know (or even care) that the Epica in Korea has had a mild facelift and now comes with a 6spd auto? The next Viva will also have this transmission along with an all new 1.8 VVT engine.

Auto Express has a pic of the next Astra's interior too.

I like it

It's a bloody hot looking car; if the ride/build quality is on par with the looks this will be one hell of a Mondeo/Mazda6 basher.

Don't like the new badge, especially the incorporated word.
We know what it is...that's what the badge symbolizes, we don't need to be told as well....:(
you don't see the 4 rings with Audi written on them....

I like how it says Opel...gives the whole car a bit more depth and purpose. :)

Simple detail like that...heh

Some really good sites for the new Vectra – yes there may be a chance.

that's cos they're people wanting to rub the point in lol.
I know they exist, i just think they look classier without it...

[USC]

and BMW has the word written on its badge too!

Exception is Honda,Mazda, VW where the badge symbolises the first letter of the brand. Toyota is the same I think..except that the T is a bit fat...lol. Mitsubishi badge does not makse sense(may be the diamond means durable)...same as subaru.

looking classier without it is a personal choice okay.

this may help ;)

just for a bit of history

Interesting, the modern day Opel logo originally featured a slylized dirigible airship inside the 'O', representing German engineering expertise (this was from 1937 to 1947). It since evolved, into a stlized airplane from 1954 to 1964, and then to today's lightning bolt in 1964.




oh and one more with the name in it

Mitsubishi badge does not makse sense(may be the diamond means durable)"Mitsubishi" means "three diamonds" in Japanese. :)
