Seriously considering a manual '03+ CDXI manual at the moment though, they're far cheaper than the Mondeo ST220 (Which is a better car if you can afford it, I suppose). All I can say is that I hope for GM that the Insignia can lift the quality game to Ford levels, because an Epica/Insignia strategy could stop the flow of Commodore drivers to Toyota.
Gee, I'd seriously like a 05 2.2 Hatch ZC with about 50k on it if i was looking for a car. They're running at around $18k in Sydney i think, that seems like value to me.
