Vauxhall presents the new Insignia

Opel or Vauxhall presents the new competitor for Mondeo, Insignia, and a great model that it is 21 cm longer, 5 cm wider and boasts an extra 35 mm between the axles, compared with the outgoing Vectra.
Chassis-wise, the Insignia will pack a revised version of GMâ€™s IDS active suspension system and optional adaptive all-wheel drive. At launch, engine options will include three petrol lumps and a pair of oil burners. The petrol options range from a 140 hp 4-pot to a 260 hp V6. The diesel option takes the predictable form of a 2.0 liter 4 banger in 130 hp or 160 hp trim. Vauxhall has not put a date on the arrival of either the EcoFLEX model or the inevitable VXR high performance machine.
Official interior images have not been released. The Insignia will initially be available in hatchback and saloon body styles. No official info as yet on prices, speeds and feeds. Do you like it?
