that Insignia is a very nice car.

Anyone know if Holden are going to do a Performance version of the Cruze? maybe wack a turbo on it or something?

HSV are looking at importing the Insignia [and the Corsa]. However; they really need Holden to sell it as well inorder to make it a more viable business proposal in terms on numbers etc.

Come on HSV… bring it over here!!!
Use the clubsport wagon and rebage it as a VXR8 wagon to strike some kind of deal with the UK.
See what can they do~ By the time astra is done, consider the Corsa VXR… love to have one of those as well…
If the English are not happy with just a clubsport wagon, throw in a couple of Grange`s or Senator`s!! It’s a win win sitcuation !!

Oh and everyone putting thumbs down on ‘Lazybones’…why?? He was merely pointing out that CA spelt VauxhaLL wrong. Lol, its been a whole day and no one noticed, not even CarAdvice.

Ehh Safer, I’m not sure what you are really on about. Yes, the ’98-’02 Vectra had problems but cars such as the Astra, Barina/Corsa are reliable and good cars. Either way, this would be a billion times better than the Epica.

Oh no…Please do not bring it here. It is a real lemon…Aussie will be ripped off…Vauxhall is infamous for its poor reliability and quality. This brand is the worst of the worst in terms of reliability. I cannot understand why some people like this brand which produces such lemons..…It is simply insane…

I”ve seen a few Insignia’s here in the UK and they are simply stunning. I have to do a double take whenever I see one, they are so un Vauxhall like.
Put any other badge on them, VW, BMW and it’s more than worthy.
Surely a car this classy would sell in Australia?
My local dealer has a wagon/tourer/estate demo, that I am going to take for a spin, before I return to Australia next month.

I read some where a few weeks ago that HSV were going to import these. Must have been mistaken.

I wonder if Vauxhall still has the Guildsman concept. It’s a real car, but only Matchbox put it into production, in pink, mostly. Mine survives.
