Should be a corker. Foul wheel drive is a great addition for a start.

If it's 4WD it will be my next car when it's released.

Funny you should post this, it was only lunchtime yesterday I was speaking to a member of staff at a Vx Dealer. He was adiment the there WONT EVER be a VXR Insignia, and they'll NEVER make it 4 wheel drive! He went on...

..."the car isn't a Vectra Replacement, it's a whole new car. Much bigger, 4 door saloon, heavier and bulky. Their not even making an estate model, therefore there is no way there will be a VXR model"..

...I dropped in that I've seen the Estate in the form of a shell at the Opel factory in Germany...

..."oh"...

Then the sales bloke came out to try and sell me the Vectra VXR they got.

Thanks for posting Spoons.

I must say however fella's, that if that is the next VXR or incarnation of, then I am a little dissapointed. To me that is nothing more than one of the first pics of a standard hatchback Insignia with nice wheels on. I also don't see any rear diff, & just looking at the size of the brakes they certainly don't make me feel all warm & fuzzy, plus there are other giveaways such as no front fog lights, no extra bodywork, etc. Other sites with the same images suggest it is just a run of the mill Insignia hatch.

Time will tell I guess

This is the Concept:




Why don't cars ever turn out like the concepts the spend all the money, time and effort designing???

I would be happy with the concept if it was priced at the same price as my vectra is worth.
