Looks like the new Mazda 6, very nice though.

I like

EDIT: Sounds good from the review

The Vauxhall Insignia VXR has finally broken cover! This production ready prototype, spied at a secret gathering of top executives, shows a hatchback version finished in white.

The pictures, first revealed at evo.co.uk, prove just how commited the Luton firm is to producing high performance variants of all its cars.

Both saloon and estate car variants will also be available, all of which will be fitted with vertical front air intakes that were a striking feature of the Opel GTC Concept coupé that debuted at the 2007 Geneva motor show. The car also gets wider wheel arches and a special bodykit.

Set to make its debut sometime in March, the car is tipped to go on sale later this year.

According to one insider, the twin-turbo V6 engine produces around 320bhp - while test cars have lapped the Nürburgring in a little over eight minutes.

With its four-wheel drive and 255/35 R20 tyres it's claimed to have progressive, secure handling and a huge amount of grip. Wheels have five concave spokes, are painted in dark metallic grey and have polished rims and spoke outlines.

That looks good, bit more distinctive. Was looking at the SRI in my local dealers the other day and while it is a good looking car, they are very un-noticable on the road.
