Yes. Some good looking cars sneaking through the net. The Insignia is one, the C5 is another:

haha, what were your thoughts? I think it looks good for a Citroen. I was genuinly suprised since I havent liked anything from them before.

My thoughts? Well, I thought it was some crazy Bimmer/Audi hybrid at first glance. The way the sheetmetal was folded really convinced me...you know...had that pinched and creased look...

For a Citroen I thought it was very impressive. Although I'm not the biggest fan of Citroens after seeing a million of em throughout my 25 days in Europe. The designs are a bit too out there for me. This one is definitely their best work so far. It looked very upscale.

Is the VXR not already planned for production, it's to use the latest Haldex XWD system and is pushing out something like 300 ponies. It might not trouble Merc, Audi or BMW but I bet the Passat will be in for some harder times ahead.

I really like how the Insignia sedan looks...and the station wagon aint bad either...But it reminds me alot of a Q7. Its like a better version of the Q7

Check it out.

Yeah I get what you mean about the crease thing. It's that sort of body detail you find on "upscale" cars like Audi, BMW and Merc. Other cars have very bland surfaces with little detail. Well done Citroen on this model.
