It looks as nice as my Avalon.......... This car is sold in the US, at least in hatchback form, as the Buick Regal. The picture is a four door version, the 5 door is much more practical. There is also a touring model, or Station wagon which is pretty big inside as well. The start about £20k and go right upto about £35k for the twin turbo V6 4WD model which all the Police forces in the UK are starting to use an Interceptor car, as they are seriously quick. Vauxhall had a few dark years recently with crap cars and poor reliability but these are really, really well screwed together cars and they are great to drive and look well. I had a 160hp diesel engined 'Elite' model, it could do 90mph all day and still returned more than 50 to the gallon in the 68000 miles I did in it. And mine was an early model and never had anything other than routine servicing. To say that I loved the 'sig was an understatement, I was unsure about it at first but it was the only car I have ever been able to jump in and drive 8 hours non stop without feeling tired, as i drive in Europe quite a lot so big trips are a regular for me. Unlike the Audi A6 which replaced it earlier this year, which had to be recovered from the M1 with only 300 miles on the clock, and had a diagnostic fault that has never been fixed, despite having a new ECU, engine wiring harness and cylinder head. Hopefully a full refund is forthcoming... Edited September 19, 2012 by dalethecaptain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
