Hey guys, I mostly belong to the 3G forums, but I was reading through a car mag from Hong Kong the other day and found this...

Look familiar anyone? It's called the Opel Insignia, look it up on google, the interior is strikingly similar too. Now Honda isn't particularly known for cooperating with other companies in designs, but this is just..... WTF?

 

That looks better, IMHO.

 

i'm not very familiar with Opel in general, but it looks great. Is Opel equivalent to say, Hyundai? if so... iono, your call...haha

 

I saw it in person (I live in Europe). And believe me it is SMALL. It is rather hatchback size while looking at it in person. It looks good from the front and side view but looks bad from the back (again like small car). And here in Europe Opel is a the worst German brand - even VW is better. It is like Fiat.

 

Opel is a Ford product right?

 

.

No, Opel is still GM property.

 

The Insignia is more a Ford Mondeo, Alfa 159 competitor...maybe even the Euro Accord...

It's a striking car...without a doubt...we might even get it here as a Buick...



Here's the 2010 Buick LaCrosse...

 

That's this VXR version that has AWD + 325hp from a turbo 2.8L engine I believe.

 

Yes that was the one I saw on the magazine. It was like WTF sauce for me...

 

Actually, this is the VXR...a lil too aggressive for my taste...more appealing to the younger buyer I'm guessing...

 

Yeah I actually liek that design, far less obnoxious than the 09 TL. I will give Buick kudos for the 2010 Lacrosse it look lieka sexy car witha nice interior, look at their web site, I dig the blue ambient lighting.

 

Looks too "Pokemon" to me with those ridiculously large air intakes.

 

with pete

 

lol pokemon...

tc_terencec, nice vegeta avatar!

 

opels are more common outside of the US. i lived in the middle east for 10 years and opels are very common here. its the equivalent of saturn i believe. GM sells saturn in america and opel overseas. however, opel is german made.

 

haha thanks! power level is over 9000 - keep that in mind.
I think I've seen you around when I was going around with my parents, where my mom commented on a "very nice looking Honda", which I recognized to be a 2G TL

 

lol, I have seen that "over 9000" video on youtube, pretty funny.

haha say thanks to our mom for me please! I go to Richmond a lot since I live in Marpole. I definitely need a drop though as it looks sort of like a Hummer right now...haha

 

Opel, as stated before, is a wholly European company that is owned by GM. They also own the Vauxhall brand in the UK. Same Opel, just RHD.

I know there's a thread or three with this stuff in there:

That should be good.

 

looks way better than any acura currently imho

 

IMHO, the Opel in the OP's post looks strikingly similar to the 2G Infiniti G sedan.

 

Any car on the road today is better looking than the 4th gen TL.

 

I also agree that looks MUCH better than the 4G. In fact, I actually like it

 

i think it looks better too.

 

Opel Insignia > 4G TL

 

I like it very much. 4G? what is that
