325HP and 435Nm and 0-100 time of 6.0sec???
would have expected mid 5's considering thats a fair amount more power than a R36 which is only 295 HP/350 Nm

almost half a second though? sedan does it in 5.6 - the Insignia must be a bit heavy as well....
No, we were talking about the Passat R36, Insignia OPC's competitor. I hope that was what Wraith was talking about, too :)
Sorry, but even leaving looks aside, the R36 won't get me too excited with 25 kW and 100 Nm less than Opel's medium sized beast.
i believe Ange was talking about the Passat CC, sounds most like the merc he described, i believe it shares the r36 running gear, but different body shape?

R36 does not look like a Merc CLS - Wraith is indeed talking about the Passat CC.
Passat CC has the 3.6 from the R36 but with slightly less power - so still pretty quick.
Insignia looks better (and not as boring as the Passat) - but the VR6 in the Passat sounds a lot better than the V6 in this.
Meh. I'd still prefer the 330i.
Still a nice car though!
Sorry, my bad... But why would you compare a CC with a sedan or wagon, anyway?! :D
Can you buy a new 330i for about $60k? Where, surely not in Oz?
