Sure Euro cars like the new Insignia are very nice and classy etc, but I owned a Vectra at one stage and I had so many problems with it. My Mum still has an Opel sourced Barina and the check engine light continually comes on, it stalls while being driven, all on a car with less than 50,000 kms. My current car is a Daewoo Lacetti (same car as the Holden Viva) and it’s fantastic. I haven’t had 1 problem with it. My sister has a Hyundai Getz, again problem free. Everyone is quick to bag the Epica, but I wouldn’t put it past me that it is more reliable than these flashy, yet problem prone eurotrash cars.

I thinks it’s a great interior and a nice stylish exterior to go with it. The Mondeo/Vectra(Insignia) fight continues. GM have always been on the back foot on this competition, I really believe if the pricing and customer care are competitive this will push the mondeo off the winners podium.
The old Vectra was not well received in Australia and was considered too expensive by many, Holden had their hands tied so you sadly ended up with the Crapica to the complete failure of Holden. If the Austalian wants this car then you’ll have to pay the going rate which means it will be only a few thousand less then the Commie. It’s a better car though.
I for one cannot wait the see what the 4wd version will be like its just what I need to tow the boat. Roll on Autumn

A large improvement on the out going Vectra in Europe and the UK. If Holden were to bring the car i think they should stick with the Insigna name rather then bring it back as a Vectra. The Vectra was boring to look at and lifeless to drive. Realase it with a new name and give it a fresh start in life.

Sae a Xr5 mondeo next a SS v yesterday.Guess which i prefered

A Mazda 6?

Mazda doesn’t have to use the “supply problem” spin to explain their sales either, despite the fact they sell nearly double the inventory of all Mondeos.

Well, I guess you can’t really blame Holden for experimenting with the Epica. The Vectra sold very slowly so they took a punt with the Epica. Of course, with 43 sales in a month, I wouldn’t say that was very successful. I doubt the Vectra was that abysmal.

Epica….Load of junk. Seen the newest Holden ad were they go through the fleet of cars. Notice there is only one shot of the Epicrap. It lasts 1 second & has it driving behind trees. Yep, Holden really love the Epicrap so much they are only prepared to show it in the ad for a second & then it is obscured behind trees…..

To Holden, you really need to find a business case to get the new Insignia here. Whether you market it alongside the Caprice, Statesman & Calais V as Holden excutive fleet or whatever. But you need to turn around the cheap & nasty tag you have developed for yourself. You need the Astra & Insignia selling together.
