Saving Graces

Chevy Cruze


Opel Insignia

The economy was at crashing point and the auto giants that ruled the 80's to early 2000's saw their customers dwindle and their drafts ballooning.

General Motors now has the Opel Insignia to point it's guns and rivals insight.

Chevrolet has got the Cruze to cruise through the competition . Trample over , even.

Well done.

Will this new O add to the MG?

Opel Insignia


Check Spec:
-2.0L Turbo producing 220BHP
-6-speed auto with manual select.
-0-100kmh in 7 sec
-Car of The Year 2009.

Many reviewers have applauded this car as the best in class be it comfort, drive , build-qualty or design, than literally all in this junior executive be it the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Ford Mondeo, VW Passat or even the BMW 3-series.


Only in price , has Opel lost the plot a bit ( or a lot) . It is almost 30% too expensive to compete well with its rivals.

Only time will tell, if this car is gonna finally pull Opel out from under the other much more vaunted German brands like Mercedes , BMW , Volkswagen and Audi.

will I want one? Yes to drive . To own? Give me a Volkwagen Passat CC or Renault Laguna Coupe , both of which costs thousands cheaper ....

Q.. ...See my point?
