Re: Official? Pics of Insignia Leaked
Damn, the first thing I thought of when I saw that front-end was a NA Camry. Although the interior looks nicer than the Camry.
  Good thing we won't see this in NA.

Re: Official? Pics of Insignia Leaked
I had the same Camry thought as well, but then I realized I wouldn't have if it was pictured in any colour besides the "Boring Toyota Grey". Think about it, 90% of Camry's are in this nasty colour, so I think if this was anything else, the resemblance wouldn't be so obvious.

Also, the front is very Malibu'ish. I think its the wheels that are giving you the "Camary" look.

Re: Official? Pics of Insignia Leaked
I was thinking more Rolla front end than Camry but that thing looks hottttt. Like sex on wheels. I cannot wait for AURA to debut as this!!! 6MT, AWD, and a HF Twin Turbo Red Line for 35k?
Can you spell possibly next car? (After Turbo Cobalt SS?) CobaltSS

Re: Official? Pics of Insignia Leaked
It is very Camryesque in the snout, but there's som 'Bu in there too as some have said. It is a great looking car inside and out! It'll make a wonderful Saturn Aura.

Re: Official? Pics of Insignia Leaked
I can see the Camry in there - but the side profile, the shape of the greenhouse (and the "Chrome outline of the windows"), and a few other elements made me think of the older G35 for some reason.
I can see the other comparisons though.

Re: Official? Pics of Insignia Leaked
Wow. This would make a compelling second generation Aura here in NA that I imagine would do better than the present generation, assuming it wasn't dumbed down too much.
Once again, I see Nissan and now G35 traits, which again is not a bad thing, based on Nissan/Infiniti's newer offerings. Nicely done, if this really is the Insignia. |

Re: Official? Pics of Insignia Leaked
Looks to be a very efficient design!
Short overhangs... Good lines.... Center stack seems to be very clean and unique. This is a very European look that won't attract many Americans not used to or resent European design. And that is exactly what Saturn needs to distance itself from the very American Chevrolet!!!!!

Re: Official? Pics of Insignia Leaked
Not crazy about the dash, I hate the dash in the Astra.
Otherwise it's decent. A little Camry there but with a Saturn front it would have a different look. |
