Opel Insignia Revealed Officially! - Page 7

I'm really impressed! I was hoping Opel would aim high and they did. It's very stylish, really is a standout. Definitely will make an awesome Aura!

Just for fun, does anyone want to take one of the pictures and slap a Saturn badge on?

Looks good. Love the rear and the tailights.
Heard that the headlights have some neat tech.
But I am a bit iffy with the headlights. doesn't seem like the lines flow too good.
Maybe it's just me
IDK

Love it! Nicely designed all the way through.

**TaHoE** · 04-18-2008, 09:10 PM

This new AURA/Insignia and Malibu do a great 1, 2 punch!

Saturn will sell a lot of these...

I think a Coupe version would look great.

Unfortunately, too true. Two good things are: Cadillac's straight edges will remain distinctive longer, and the pendulum will eventually swing back.

Bangle's biggest mistake was combining panel joints with design lines, as in the 7 series trunk edges. This car doesn't do that.

Like that coupe, though for better rear seat access, the rear edge of the door needs to be moved a few, or perhaps several inches back. As a coupe, this would bring the 6 series to mind...

I think Saturn should bring it over with most of the more powerful engines

They have to, 115 HP 4 cylinder engine will never it cut it here in such a large and heavy sedan. Probably would take 15 seconds to get to 60 MPH.

Looks very modern, complementary and yet very elegant at the same time.

MonaroSS · 04-20-2008, 09:23 AM

Here's a front and side view of what would make a great Coupe....

You do good work.

This should sell better in the U.S. since it's a Camry wannabe...the front looks just like it with the curvature surrounding the grille and lamps, and the taillights look like a slightly reworked version of the camry's as well...i.e. cookie cutter sedan...i expected more!!!
