Holden’s potential Insignia range could comprise up to four petrol and two diesel engines, all of them Euro 5 emissions-rated, ranging between $35,000 and $50,000. They include 100kW and 120kW versions of the 2.0 CDTi turbo-diesel, plus 1.8-litre, 2.0-litre turbo, 2.8-litre V6 and the new 1.6-litre turbo petrol engines
1.6 litre turbo model for this monster..:yikes: woot!! POOWWEEERR!! lol over a 2.8 liters v6 turbo?? why bother :confused: why not just do the desiel for fuel aware people a v6 turbo for perfomance line, and a v6 with valve selection for luxury lines.. and maybe a plain sri's 2.2 for budget range... makes more sence to me..:p
I know anything can happen, but i just don't think this will happen
Brining in a single product line, with no support through Holden themselves (parts/servicing), just doesn't seem viable
How will their mechanics know how to service them? How many stories do you hear about lack of knowledge with the Astra... yet that's their second most popular car
Bringing it in around that price may see it competing with the Passat R36, Liberty GT etc... but against Holden/HSV's own range, i don't think it'll work
Can't bag holden too much, after all, that 2.8 turbo is holden designed and built at fishermans bend.
and the block has potential to be a 4 liter engine :D. 4 liter v6 twin turbo FTW!
