Will debut alongside sedan in London

Having just revealed the sedan version of the all new Opel Insignia, it appears GM are working on a hatchback version and judging by the lack of any camoflage on this particular prototype we should see both debuted together at the British Motor Show this summer with a third estate variant to follow next year.

Clearly the design differences are minimal with the most notable feature being the extended length of the rear window. Like the sedan version, the Insignia hatchback both front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive will be available and seven engines will be offered at first, four petrol engines ranging from a 4-cylinder 115-bhp unit to a 260-bhp V6 and three new 2.0-litre direct-injection diesels ranging from 110 to 160 bhp.

Whoa! If the interior's nice, they'd be idiots to not bring this design to the States! That is a great-looking car.

There you go, the bread and butter model looks pish. Small wheels make this car look awfully dumpy and the white paint screams "hire car!".

White is new 'black' for cars.

Well i prefer it to the tacky Mondeo, but the Insignia saloon looks better and more balanced.

Yes, this looks like someone has stolen the back of it.

I know white is the new 'black' but it doesn't mean it looks good all the time.

Yeah, I don't like the trend for white either- it looks ok on angular/futuristic supercars and luxury cars- like a gallardo or phantom but not on budget cars. And surely white is the new silver.

Opel is testing the Insignia hatchback with NBA players, look at the co-pilot seen in the pic 3. This car is huge, longer than MB-E and BMW-5, but most of you are mistaking, the back is so similar to Astra TwinTop and Corsa D, has nothing to do with BMW.

the rear 3/4 view there looks like a 645ci bmw. the overall shape in the middle looks like the current camry. the front lights look like they have been stretched aka C-Class headlights stretched across. and the rims on that model there are almost exact copies of the 645ci. my friend has a 645 ci convertible and they look just like these rims. overall though, very nice looking car lol!

The front look of C-class, specifically the headlites are so similar to those of the Astra B's, be reminded. The only disturbing feature of this Insignia is the too low roof at the back, I do not think the backseats are as much comfortable as the current Vectra's. It is really a big disappointment for a family sedan.
