![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Opel Insignia Sports Tourer Sorry, but i fail to see more than 5% resemblance with the Audi design. When i saw the rear lights i didn't think of Audi, rather than that they are kinda strange. Other than that, it looks A-W-E-S-O-M-E ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Opel Insignia Sports Tourer I agree with Giannis, I can't see the Audi resemblence at all. I've tried, but I still cant see it. Looks great though - I can imagine we'll be seeing alot of them in Britain. I think it is a very well designed car though. Good design continuity with the 'blade' effect that they have used on it. For example, the 'blade' accent on the side of the car is one of the first things you notice, and it continues all round the car, even into the interior trim, steering wheel, the LED DRLs at the front.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Opel Insignia Sports Tourer Looks very very good, just like the sedan. Much better than Mondeo or Passat designwise. And I really don't see much Audi in it. Yes, the way the rear lights are integrated in the bootlid by the shutline resembles the Q7, and maybe the C-pillar is Audi-ish. But overall, this does not look like an Audi at all. It's very "new Opel-ish". Good job. ![]()
