i think it looks better than the old one

Shocking Colour....

Its one of those cars that a colour can make or break ....... (IMO)

Theta · 27-08-2009, 10:12

Looks much better then the old one imo.

Yeah would look nice in a black or cobalt grey.

The entertainment system is supposed to be very good although there are no details.

Indeed, diarrhea coloured paint doesnt help the promotion of any car!

Not too mad about the interior tbh. Think it looks a bit dated compared to the interior of an E-class or a 5 series Wouldnt really like the outside either really!

Oh yeah, I like. Quirky, different, but still solid and looking quality. Like the old Saabs of the past. There's hope yet for Saab!

Love the black A pillar

Drummerboy08 · 27-08-2009, 10:51

Similar to the Insignia IMO.

TomMc · 27-08-2009, 10:51

Bit of Chrysler 300C going on there towards the back.

Voodoomelon · 27-08-2009, 10:52

Looks great.

It would be!

Its based on it. Same diesel and 1.6turbo petrol engines. I think the Insignia is better looking though, they should have swapped them!

Fantastic - I love it

Not sure about the green interior lighting, its a bit sterile and "Halfords" looking.
