My Ride: E60 530d M-Sport
I drove the Insignia last year at Milbrook Proving ground on special invitation from Vauxhall, a big improvement on the outgoing Vectra ( that was never going to be hard tho ) but other than that its nothing special, and certainly not car of the year of any catergory, which leads me to assume what I always thought, the titles stand for nothing sadly...........

I cant believe this..........
Vauxhall ( GM ) are claiming the Insignia is the car of the year ( even tho it wasn't released until the last few days )
Also I dont know if you noticed, but I often see Fiats with Car of the Year stickers on them, old Fiats at that !!!!!
Maybe there is a way of doing it which doesn't actually mean anything, car of the year as voted for by "Blind poor people" catergory etc ??

Just saw a Genesis today. It looks like a MB E class from the front, but an E60 from the back... A true copy cat! But a nice looking copy cat.
