Nice style ... actually if you covered up the grille it could be an Audi Avant ... the tail gate is practically a direct copy from the Q7/Q5 design ... oh well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I don't wish to sound like a Health & Safety nerd, but if the tailgate is up am I right in thinking the car would have no visible exterior lighting at night? Is that legal?

I don't think that OPC and series-production differ in the arrangement of the taillights. Take a look at the regular Insignia ST and you'll see that there are further taillights behind the opened tailgate. Edit @MAXLD: That is just what I was about to say.

Wrong, there are additional hidden lights on both sides when you open the tailgate.

2.8L V8? What difference would it made if it was a 2.8L V6?

It is a V6. That's a typo.

Mmmkay. The front and the power seems good, but as for the rear, I can't say the same. I'm guessing that is why Vauxhall have a Hatch version, right?

The same GM 2.8 V6 Turbo debuting in the states in the 2010 Caddy SRX? If so, what a difference a more modern version could make by adding Direct Injection, weight saving aluminum, more robust internals, etc... The car looks hot, though. I love the Insignia.

This Insignia OPC is yet another cool looking Opel. It looks very powerful and extremely purposeful and is more appealing than many estates from the more prestige marques.

No i disagree. Price wise this might be more appealing but perosonally on all other points i would rather have a 5, E or A6...

Ive seen afew of the sedan version of the Insignia driving around and, personally i dont like them. There is just something there. Its wrong... The same goes for this - I dont mind the rear end though...

This is the one of the best cars to come out of "GM" in many years. Another to add to the roster of production GM greats imo 2.8 V6 Turbo. Yes. Just yes... a prime example of what is needed in the world

VULGAR VAUXHALL. Sexy Tourer even better looking than the hatch. Don't be surprised folks if Vauxhall walks away with 2010 ECOTY Award for the new Astra! It's ironic that just when Vauxhall became 'contemporary' at last, they're now in trouble; taken over by an anonymous Canadian firm, Magna, and losing 10,000 jobs worldwide. At least their future is bright with cars like this!

An Audi-esque centre console, a very sporty steering wheel and corner-hugging seats complete the VXR interior package. Player-haters recognize this; plagiarism with a twist works with great skill. It's called Benchmarking.
