From the outside, but inside the Design Vectra (at least Facelift models) had a lot more toys as standard than the SRi.

My old Vectra ('06 Design) had climate control, DAB, CD Changer, half leather, etc the only things it didn't have that the SRi had is 15mm (I think?) lowered suspension and the black headlights, but as the car was silver lightning, the chrome looked much better than black.

Although the Siggy is the best of both worlds, only 3 trim levels - Design and SRi go together so my Design Signum has the Design toys inside and the SRi suspension + lights.

Facelift no, pre-facelift yes.

lee had same dilemma with either luxury and toys or nothing and xp pack went for luxury and toys can add xp pack and most on here change alloys at some point. engine's are the same also most personalise there own, but its nice to only have to add plastic rather than add wire's buttons panels and then go to vx to be tec'd or if in for service have them say "cars altered warranty invalid" bill expensive.

i got a design m8,
all ive done is swap the headlights, and the rear bumper is getting changed too. its better to add the cosmetics and have most of the toys,
