Opel / Vauxhall Insignia BiTurbo introduced
December 5, 2011
A biturbo is essentially a smaller and a larger turbo. It gives the power of a car fitted with a massive turbo, while the small turbo minimizes the massive lag that is associated with massive turbos.
Opel / Vauxhall Insignia BiTurbo introduced

I don't know where you get your facts, but they are very wrong. Firstly, if you want a similar powered E class, theres either the E220cdi (170bhp) which starts at £30,095, or the E250cdi (204bhp) for £31,715. Sure if its not power that you're worried about, you could always buy a 130bhp or 160bhp Insignia. Secondly, the Insignia Elite is just as well specced as any E-class, in fact even better. Not only does it have adaptive xenon headlight which dip automatically (which vaux/opel had released before merc released this feature on the E-class), but it has a bluetooth phone kit, automatic wipers, automatic dipping rear view and door mirrors, heated leather sports seats, parking sensors, climate control, cruise control, electric parking brake etc... Not to mention that the insignia was voted the most reliable car in 2010. And also the fact that it has outsold both the mondeo and the 3-series this year. So just to round up, the Insignia is cheaper, more powerful, better equipped, better built and better looking than the E-class.
Opel CEO confirms flagship model, dreams of Manta & GT revival

I believe the Capri was Ford's rival for the Manta. Ford still make the Escort, its called the Focus.

There's no such thing as an Opel Astra VXR. Theres an Opel Astra OPC and a Vauxhall Astra VXR. I know its just a case of "Badge Engineering" but its the small things like these which turn a good motoring site into a great motoring site!
Volkswagen creates edible ad for the Golf R
May 30, 2011
I dont know where you got your facts, but you are very misinformed. The golf R starts at R408,930 according to the South African VW website, while the M3 Coupe starts at R839,500. I do believe that is more than double the price of the Golf R.

The only reason I can think of is when you get out in anger after being hammered by an Astra OPC...
Mercedes E-Class gains new engines
May 4, 2011
Those figures are unreal! A 4.6 litre twin turbo with over 400bhp that can do 8.9l/100km and emit only 209g/km is a massive achievement! My 1.6 corsa OPC is struggling to do 9l/100km and it's emissions are 195g/km. Well done mercedes, well done!
Opel bumps up the V-Max with Insignia OPC 'Unlimited'
April 15, 2011
Vilivo is right tho, not only is the insignia in a smaller class than the M5/E63/RS6/XFR, it also isnt made to take on the likes of the M3/C63/RS5. Its meant to take on the likes of the 335i, the s4/s5 and the C350. Personally, I think the insignia OPC is the best looking saloon on the market today. Also far cheaper than a similar spec'd 335i/s4/c350.
