Prior to the new Opel Insignia's European market launch on November 22, 2008, it's no surprise that long time Opel tuning partner (40 years to be exact), Irmscher, is the first to present a styling package ready to go. Available from the beginning of Insignia sales through Opel dealerships, the package consists of the a honeycomb grille with or without a stainless steel upper bar molding, front lower spoiler, side skirts, deck lid spoiler and rear diffuser fitted to the standard bumper fascia which accommodates quad exhaust. Lastly, 20-inch Irmscher wheels available in various designs add the final styling touch.

I´m ready to change my loved Vectra GTS V6 after seeing that "Pepino" (Spanish word for that kind of machine...)

have vectra gts too and i'd never change it for this car! this is just average designed car. when vectra gts came in 2002 it was revolution, and this one will be just one in a crowd! be smart, dont sell your gts, it is a great car and i must say i love mine! buy some irmscher spoilers to refresh it (what i've done ;))and u have a car for next 10 years ;)

blows the rather fussy Mondeo out of the water.

Anyone remember the Infiniti J30? The back end reminds me of that car, but in a good way. Kind of a cool modern reinterpretation.

joelynn - compared to what we get here, the Mondeo is a cool looking car, but I have to agree that this looks sharper and edgier. I would run out for a test drive!

darko, absolutely right... i´m not going to sell my Vectra, be sure. But i´ve fallen in love with this new one... is too much to have two cars at home...??

depends for who ;) i have vectra gts and vectra B, and i dont wont to sell any coz those are great cars and havent let down yet.. and about buying a new car, i think spending 40k € on an average car is waste of money, dont you think? as i said, invest 4-5k € in ur gts and u have a car which is 10 x better looking than this ..extended corsa lol

Looks quite good, but I never liked the "Irmscher way" in terms of exhaust styling. Looks bland and misplaced on the otherwise sleek car.

well done but i think they should overhaul the whole brand. nice car but the logo is so 1950 and the name is horrible, too. "opel" sounds retarded imho. the logo is a complete design fail. rule 1: never let things point downward. ah nevermind...
