Opel Insignia
Look at the new Opel Insignia. Early Opel sent out “official” spy shots of their new D-segment sedan.
Due to hit dealers in Europe this October, the Opel Insignia will replace the current Vectra and come equipped with a handful of diesel- and gasoline-powered engines, ranging in displacement from 1.6- to 2.8-liters. Both 1.6-liter and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engines will be equipped in the entry level models, with a 250 hp, 2.8-liter V6 powering the range-topper. Diesel mills packing 1.9-liters of displacement and outputting 120 to 150 hp will also be offered, and there’s also talk of a 180 hp, 1.9-liter turbo and a 2.9-liter V6 diesel.
The Opel Insignia will replace the U.S. Saturn Aura in the next few years. The styling is a step above Saturn’s current sedan, with an attractive front clip and a rather dynamic swage line that begins aft of the front fender and runs parallel with the rocker panels.
The 2009 Opel Insignia will be publicly debuted at the London Motor Show this July and we should see a Saturn variant making its way to the U.S. sometime around the turn of the decade.
