Take a look at these new Vauxhalls...stunning considering their badge!

Insignia

And the brilliantly futuristic Flextreme

Definately not money saving, but I think anyone on this board must have some level of interest in cars so posted anyway :D

    Oh I don't know, could be money saving if it is good enough to tempt people away from similar sized more expensive cars like Merc. E Class, BMW 5 series etc. ;)

    Vauxhall need a strategy on maintaining residuals for their cars, selling them cheap in quatity to leasing firms destroys residuals and makes them an expensive choice for private buyers.

    The Insignia looks surprisingly like a BMW 5 Series, question is whether the build quality matches

    ....but cheaper.

    Better value for money? Yes.
    More sensible choice? Yes, it's all the car you'll ever need and then some.
    Equal to Merc. or BMW? The only people who might think this are those that have never lived with a BMW or Merc. or in most cases even driven one.

    The Insignia will of course be wrong wheel drive which is money saving. Right wheel drive would be 4 wheel drive or rear wheel drive. One of the defining characteristics of a BMW or Merc. is rear wheel drive. Some people will never notice the difference, most who do find themselves very unwilling to go back to front wheel drive.
  • The first car is bloody awful. It looks like they designed a matchbox toy and took a match to the plastic bits.

    The New Insignia looks not so dissimilar to the the new Skoda Superb.... Oh and BMW stole an idea off the new Skoda Superb's tailgate design apparently :D
