    I am particularly attracted to the interior.
    Have not seen many NA cars with such a nice design.

    Too many buttons for my taste but it's better than any current GM products in NA.

    Just when GM start to figure it out.....

    I used to live in the UK, trust me N.A. will never bring over Opel, and even if they put a chevy badge on it, I still wouldnt recommend buying one, they are one of the most unreliable cars in the UK.

    Nice I like it. I think I read somewhere that GM was considering bringing the Insigina over, but bading it as an entry level Cadillac sedan.

    It's nice - and I agree... I like the interior. (And the buttons!)

    I find the proportions seem a little off though... like the back end being too narrow, etc. Maybe it's just me....

    The Insignia is the updated, revamped version. The Aura is the same as the Opel Vectra. The Vectra being the last generation version.

    Reminds me of a Lexus GS a lot for some reason.

    Looks like a Toyota from the side.

    Nice interior though.
