In most cases, GM plays an also-ran any time it returns to a segment after abandoning it.
The German tuner turns its wrenches on Opel’s top-shelf four-door sedan that’s sold in the U.S. as the Buick Regal.
Opel will continue building cars for GM for two or three more years. Then what?
Right now, Opel builds the Regal family via a contractual agreement.
The OPC badge hasn’t seen the light of day for years.
PSA’s plans include a switch to an all-electrified portfolio, which could mean more electric cars for Holden.
The taxis are on sale now and join the Vivaro Zafira.
Opel’s future roadmap doesn’t include the current Insignia/Regal/Commodore for very long.
The OPC was more powerful, but the GSi is lighter.
Opel’s hot station wagon also may be had with a diesel engine.
The 2.0L BiTurbo diesel engine makes 354 lb-ft of torque.
With an optional tow hook, the Insignia Sports Tourer becomes a proper towing vehicle.
The sport sedan and crossover represent the brand’s highlight products this year.
The Opel Insignia is North America’s Buick Regal.
Buick doesn’t plan to offer a hotter Regal TourX, but clues from Opel may mean a different variant could crop up.
That’s one good looking wagon.
The turbocharged V6 engine from the Insignia OPC is long gone.
It could be a precursor to similar results by the IIHS and NHTSA.
