Even more convincing effort from Opel, building on Insignia A’s strengths.

Relaxing to drive, and quiet with the smaller wheels; larger, 18-inch numbers gave noticeable road noise. Smallest 1·5 has good power, though larger units gutsier.

Four-wheel drive for flagships, including Commodore. GM Onstar service standard. Sold as [[Vauxhall]] in UK, with regular saloon dubbed Grand Sport; Sport Tourer name retained for estate on both sides of the Channel. Alter the grille, and the cars would be exported to the US as the [[Buick Regal]], with the Country Tourer renamed the TourX.
