SRi is 4x4 already.

The VXR will be awesome, they are developing it at the moment.

Learn something new every day

I wonder how good the system is, is it a permanent or part-time set-up?

Re Insignia's, I think they look nice and are more expensive looking than anything else in that price range, however once there are a few million of them on the road it will just be another car no-one will look twice at.

Dunno about that Tom, the 20's look amazing

There is a review of the 4x4 system in Total Vauxhall this month.

I've just seen a silver one driving round and it looks quite germanic which I like. Didn't have particularly big wheels either. Will have to see wait till I see a few others in different colours and trims before I make my mind up fully!

I like it. But considering the one in Total Vauxhall was an SRi, I couldn't see the SRi-ness. I need to see the Exterior Pack and/or VXR before I move from liking the looks of the Mondeo more.

Only seen the front end of it on the website & im not a fan. 4x4 sounds interesting for any potential VXR model!!

I think it looks quite good, and the interior is quite cool. They did a good thing about the 4x4 SRi in TV as Ollie said, apparently there's not a massive amount of rear head room because of the sweeping roof line

It's a cool design though, almost like a 5-door coupe

Those pics in the first post look like what I've never seen before. Must be some kind of Exterior Pack. Love it

Only if it had the Exterior Pack (XP) otherwise, they didn't looking anything special. Same with the Astra's.

i think they are lovely in the higher spec models, saw a test one a while back and liked it then saw one in the flesh today at local dealers and really liked. my next company car hopefully.

irmscher version is gorgeous. wheels are amazing

and found this on a german website at what the vxr could look like if mixed with current vxr touches

Every time I see a Toyota Avensis, I think it's a new Insignia. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing
