Opel Insignia - Last Hope

Opel and the middle class these 2 concepts were synonyms only in the past. And now?
After many attempts, the InSignia model now gets a new chance to lead the automobile segment, which has long been successfully leading completely different brands, clearly more expensive.
For Opel, the InSignia model may be the last chance to survive. Things are going badly, Opel’s health is not to hell. And his mother in America is seriously ill. It is worth only GM not to survive this crisis, Opel will most likely collapse with it. And here, excuses like the fact that, unlike American loans, we developed environmentally friendly models of the new generation, and similar nonsense will not even help. It, of course, is true, only it’s too late to grab onto the lifebuoy.
The time has passed when the discreet quality erupted the image of the car manufacturer for pieces, but not for Opel. In war, all means are good. No, no one began to reinvent the car. Just with the new Insignia, a new chapter has opened in the history of the company. The developers chose a classic strategy for this automobile segment, but added an incomparable quality there. They also worked pretty much on the design and competently hid all the ugly features of a boring conveyor.
Opel Insignia Chic design with minuses
The soft, floating line of the roof is incomparable. You can really look at. But it is only worth jumping into the back of the Insignia, as the ceiling immediately falls on the head. Beauty beauty, but the rear passengers should not have been more than 180 meters

high, otherwise the cones on the head will be plenty of. Thank God that in front in Opel Insignia everything is wonderful, there is a lot and the appearance is chic. Not that the back, when the cars that travel from behind are not really visible from the driver's seat. And in front is also pleasing to such a well -made control panel. Electronics on it is exclusively intuitive, as is customary for Opel. It’s easy to figure out everything, it is a pity that the developers did not come up with anything fundamentally new.
Today everyone wants to attribute themselves to the premium class. And Opel too. Indeed, the guys tried to say anything for glory. Only now it’s worth it to take a closer look at the wooden coating in some parts of the Opel Insignia interior, it immediately becomes obvious that it is necessary to use the word cheap. I would like to shout this word a second time when the trunk upholstery is cast in the eye. In general, there can be no ideal for that kind of money.
Opel Insignia in motion
What in our time is distinguished by the middle class from the premium? Obviously not newfangled electronics and a huge set of all kinds of security assistants. All this stupidity has long migrated to compact vehicles of cheap category. In order to give out a car of a decent nature, it is necessary for a start to correctly and subtly set up the engine and balance its work with all other parts of the machine. It is necessary to take into account the dynamics of the body and other little things. Also important is the fact that the driver on a test drive should perceive the car that is tested at the factory. Otherwise, everything is a drain.

Opel managed to do what is almost impossible. Engineers stabilized and set up everything quite perfectly. Insignia flies along the road as a professional skater on ice. The steering is so precise that the ride on Insignia becomes a real pleasure. At the wheel, such optimizim is born and such confidence in its driver's qualities that I involuntarily want to take the coolest turns, and even at the speed that I would like to go exclusively directly. During the most dangerous situations, ESP is triggered in Opel Insignia, and so imperceptibly that self -confidence remains one hundred percent. It’s only a shame that ESP cannot be completely turned off, because such an option is sometimes clearly not enough for really extremely experienced drivers. I am glad that for electronics of the car there are several modes in advance, including sports. The setting affects all the vital technical parts of the car, which allows you to optimize driving to a very, very high level. Comfort while driving in Insignia is not as high as, for example, in Citroen. However, in all respects, this German representative is really impressive.
Opel Insignia many advantages
In fact, there are a lot of praise and this is not in vain. The only serious disadvantage can be, perhaps, only that the car is good, wonderful, but there is no sensation in it. Everything is good in it, and we have not seen such a good opening of Opel for a hundred years. That is, there is a chance for success, especially considering not very high prices. Moreover, the company is going to reduce them as part of the anti -crisis program. The question is, will the people want to transfer to the good old Opel, when they have long lost the habit of him?
