While we are still unsure as to whether or not the Opel Insignia will become the next Holden Vectra, this
2009 Opel Insignia Fastback spied
Now that the Opel Insignia has been unveiled to the world, the previously unseen Fastback edition has been caught testing
Last night, I remebered there was an Opel Insignia show car that had a similar frront end. I Googled it (Opel Insignia Concept) to refresh.
Sure enough, this new car has taken its design direction, somewhat loosely, from the show car that showed itself way back in 2003.
I wouldnt say its an overly attractive car, has some styling clues from various other models and it sort of looks like a cheap slovenian knock off to be honest.
Frosty/Richo,
You guys need to take off your Holden sunglasses in the dark: The Camira was, is, and always will be nothing but a total dog.
We ran them at work for 3 agonising years:
Steering was atrocious, performance was only average, economy was crap, brakes were dodgy. Build quality was substandard (even by Holdens standard of the day).
Avearge accident rate amongst employees driving these dogs was nearly double that of any other car on the fleet due to the poor handling and braking dynamics.
No doubt the Camira is one of the biggest blights on Australias motoring history!
i had high hopes for this
what the hell happened to the front? my god thats ugly
looks pretty good from the back though.
all in all it looks like someone crashed a new mazda 6
funny how holden has not commented on the return of the vectra.
when they said, ford was stupid for bringing back the mondeo….. wonder how they fell when they now look and see every mondeo sold before it gets here??
vectra WILL be back. with TORANA badges ( maybe not lol )
T – you’re mixed up mate. 1 comment criticising the next you want it down under.
Some how I don’t think the latter will happen, too expensive compared to the commie, and you Australians moan about anything Euro bought in by Holden. i.e Zafira, old Vectra, new Astra, Corsa (Barina). Seems Holden have a difficult problem to solve.
86kW seems a bit underpowered for a vehicle of this size doesn’t it?
