    Spying: Opel Refreshes Insignia for 2013

    G. Noble

    Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com

    April 12th, 2012

    The Opel Insignia is certainly a well-traveled piece of automotive design. Currently, the German mid-sized sedan is sold in mainland Europe as, obviously, the Opel Insignia, in the UK as the Vauxhall Insignia, and in China and North America as the Buick Regal. For 2013, you can add Australia to the list of countries the Insignia has been to as Opel prepares to introduce the brand to the market there for the first time, but before that takes place, the German automaker plans to give its award-winning sedan a bit of a makeover.

    Spy photographers snapped these shots of the refreshed Insignia undergoing testing in Europe recently. Although the eyeball-busting camo doesn’t reveal any small details, it is obvious that Opel will mildly update the front and rear bumpers, the grille, and the headlights and taillights. It’s also expected that the Insignia will also have some mild updates to its interior as well. At the moment, the Insignia’s styling hasn’t been touched since it was revealed in 2008.

    Besides Australia getting the Insignia for the first time, we have to wonder if this nipped and tucked version of the German sedan means that our Regal will be treated to the same updates in the near future.

      2026 Cadillac OPTIQ-V: Cadillac's New Pocket Rocket

      By smk4565 · Posted

      Home run on the power and performance at that price point too, with the tax credit while it lasts this is a 3.5 second 0-60 car for like $61k.  There is lot to like here.  300 miles would have bene nice, I don't know if they could make an eco mode to decouple a motor to increase range.  Faster charging would be nice, but I think most people charge at home and won't care about that. Where this car misses, like David said is the interior choices.  There are only black and that light gray leather and the dash is the same on all of them.  This is a problem with a lot of Cadillacs.  Every Cadillac should have 5 leather colors, 5 different dash trim options, 5 different wheel options.  You have to give luxury buyers customization choices.  The Lyric-V is black interior only, unless you get the Premium trim you have an option or tan.  Can't have 2 choices only on an $85,000 car. The Mercedes GLC has 10 wheel options, 6 MB-tex seat options, 7 leather choices, 6 dash trim choices.  And that is a bottom end Mercedes, on par with Optiq.  Even if the Optiq offered 10 seat covering choices instead of 2 they still have less than the competition.

      Copilot always puts its cars on 32" wheels.
