    Insignia VXR almost revealed?

    Well, I have found some "official" shots of the UK version of the high performance Insignia. Are those shots real or just photoshopped?

    That's one good looking car! It doesn't look like a photoshop to me, and after all, it does say "official."

    They could still be photoshopped and official.

    We'll see.

    That is a nice looking car. Interior looks really nice!

    I hope those are real official pics.

    If you think that interior looks nice, you'll be glad to know that even the base model of the range has an interior that is little different.

    I have no trouble at all with believing that the interior picture is genuine - all that appears to have changed is the padding on the steering wheel and a few very minor trim pieces. That's not a bad thing in this case as the new Insignia has a very nice interior anyway!

    I also love the rear of the Insignia. It's very attractive and, dare I say it, "coupé-like". The front is slightly less attractive, but it's still good-looking - especially when compared with rivals.

    The issue is, does it comply with crash testing?

    Does Opel have a bad history of crash test results? Because from what I'm guessing, the Insignia looks like a 5 star car to me...

    The standard Insignia has a 5* rating - I see no reason for this one to be any different.

    The only thing I can think of is that this one flings itself at the horizon at a greater velocity.

    VERY nice car though.

    Whoops, I wasn't familiar with Opels. I thought it was a Chinese car company.

    I do kind of blame the thread title.

    I thought the brand was Insignia, the model was VXR.

    So, unheard of brand = Chinese car maker.
