Try to keep your eyes open while you look at these photos of the new Insignia:





Snore.

Could it be any more bland if it tried? Could very easily be the new Toyota Avensis...

no-one else want to point out that it's actually an opel insignia then?

what's the kombi/estate look like?

Okay, so it'll have a different, chrome, 'V' grille when its a Pauxhall.

But its still the same car.

And its going to be called Insignia here too, not Vectra...

Aside from the forgettable-ness of it, which is probably going to be a good thing, does it not strike anyone else as being really short compared to say the current Vectra and Mondeo etc

That boot badge thing is hideous as well.

According to Autocar, the Insignia is actually longer than the new Mondeo. Which means it must be really really tall to give it the look of shortness it has...

No renderings, these are press shots....


Unfortunately.

Personally if i was (forced) to buy a car in this sector, you have the choice of the Insignia, the Blandeo, The Passhat etc etc, all of which are dull as dishwater to look at, or....

The Mazda 6:

Incidentally, looking at the picture of the red Mazda6 again, does it have the funkiest rear lights on sale today?

They look like the sort of lights they put on concept cars then make utterly bland for production...

Its the details for me, like the front wings (a lot like the RX-8), very curvy and athletic.
