Is the non premium badged family saloon dead?

[daemon]

I wonder will people wake up to the idea again?

I gave £6,000 for a 70K miles 2010 Insignia 2.0CDTI 160BHP SRI, 6 speed, 18 inch alloys, all the toys.

A 2010 BMW 320D M Sport or Merc 220CDI Sport would probably cost you twice that.

Yes, they're both better cars, but are they worth double?

The market suggests so.

it's the higher up driving position and the easier access for pensioners and baby seats.

Almost everybody I know that used to have a 'family car' now has the pumped up version.
Be it Focus C-max, Quasquai, Golf plus, etc, etc. Thats what they all want.

That's it really. Times change.

As a friend of mine says - you can buy gold too dear

Maybe people will twig?
