Top Gear - Vauxhall Insignia VXR / Opel Insignia OPC

[joegriffin9]

putting my order in for this car in a few weeks, white on with the nav, and 20 inch rims, test drove one yesterday and flies like s**t of a shovel, can't wait to have my own!

[braseRoneandonly]

whats the diference between vauxhall and opel?

[xev1435]

had an omega B for 5 years: favorite car of all time.

[Holmes1MN]

i wish they brought this car to the states, i would trade my GTi in for this thing

[ek9rkr13]

@Holmes1MN  This is the upcoming Buick Regal GS. Neutered of course to 255hp

[SauceCaptain]

For whatever reason cars in this segment aren't even sold here in the US. GM is re-badging some Vauxhall machines as Buick now, but that's about it. You only really get over-priced germans like audi and mercedes, typical V8 rwd domestics from Caddy chrysler etc or something cheaper in a different class. A mid sized awd with a turbo 6? That's not an over priced audi? it would be nice if they sold one here.

[Buszmen88]

which episode and season it was?

[Fondorcry]

Hmm dont like vauxhall. I mean think about it, they just take the car concepts from Opel and make their own Logo on it. Because of that there are so many fags out there, which comment on Corsa A videos with "This is a vauxhall nova".

On the other hand the Opel Insignia OPC is a really great car but by far not the best (@C7sCayman). Just think of Opel Commodore and Opel Omega Evo 500 for example. Unbeatable cars.

[RyanKerr93]

@Fondorcry do you realise opel and vauxhall is the same company they just use different "names" in different countries

[Fondorcry]

@RyanKerr93 No they arent. As I said: Vauxhall take the concepts from Opel. Vauxhall was taken over by fkin GM too.

[MrNickcafc]

@RyanKerr93 it's called glocalisation

[mazima666]

in cyprus(my country) the edition is without electronic speed limit...top speed 281 km

[worstofthebeast]

@mazima666 ok man your country, we admit that.

[birdman3120]

Vauxhall are back!!

[shcnoozlebop]

what's "ASBO rage"? 

[str3ss88]

@KingVirmire it is actually...as buick regal....(but i don't know if they have a VXR/OPC Version)

[shitrick]

I like it very much,I watched this video at lease 13 times.

[ToWi1989]

whyyyyy cant we get just a little bit of blow off ? :<

[23chilled]

vauxhall my ass. Have an Audi A4 2.4 V6 it has been chipped. Also looks a damn side nicer than a vxr. Older cars are soo much better and look a lot less plastic

[Michaelswk93]

@23chilled i agree so much with you man , a question , what do u think about omega 2.5 v6 ?

[23chilled]

@Michaelswk93 my old man seems to like them and they aren't that bad a car but im a bit weird about the vauxhall v6's they are ok but their straight six was fab, also the Lotus Carlton is just a mind blowing car

[Michaelswk93]

@23chilled my dad used to have one it costed him 750 pounds but he had no problems with it a all :) omega was the first car i ever drove :) i think it had custom exaust because it really sound like a sports car , u used to get goose bumps after reving the engine lol , :)

[VOLVORULEZ1995]

I want that car.

[on00jh2]

i dont get why they install a sport and a vxr button? push the vxr button everytime!

[yemenarGTR]

I got one on order in white, but i'm super chipping it as soon as it lands :)

[audiavantveesix]

ugly, ugly ugly. But people who drive OPELS will not admit. Gays,

[omarbond009]

@audiavantveesix no body has asked for your opinion

[airforcemanigga]

Best opel ever made

[jellis42493]

@airforcemanigga

idk... the 72 GT is amazing

[audiavantveesix]

too much HP for an ugly car

[str3ss88]

@audiavantveesix

your comment just fits your name....

the design is pure awesome! way better then your always same-looking audi....

[000TQ000]

I'm going to college for 2 years and then I'll become a plasterer and then by the time i've started saving up for this, it will be about 10 grand!

[rforracing]

I want take a long drive on that road. Simply beautiful.

[MrBazpoker]

May just love doing these test ^^s

[RiiDDiiM]

@ovorocadili GM build cars to last? What the fuck have you been smoking? The previous Vectra was an awful car in terms of reliability, in fact much of the Vauxhall/Opel range are equally as notorious. The only reason their latest mid sized saloon looks half decent is because they were forced to build a car which might aid their balance book. At least if you buy a Kia or a Hyundai you're buying into a lengthy warranty and reliability.Vauxhall has nothing going for it whatsoever.I'd rather a Ford.

[stealthstilo]

best engine ever made c20let <-----------

[23chilled]

@stealthstilo ahh no....

[DKGate7Ultras]

british idiots named opel vauxhaul. didnt they like the name "OPEL"???

[americanu197]

@DKGate7Ultras its to convince the stupid people in britain that vauxhall still exists

[iainthornton]

@americanu197

are you fucking retarded?

for what reason would they want to do that?

it's an American exercise that shows for whatever reason (guess what the reason is) we prefer to buy something which is perceivably British rather than German

[americanu197]

@iainthornton well you are deluding yourselfs in any case...vauxhall doesnt exist non of the traditional english car makers exist they all been bought by russians indians and americans the only reasons you still have cars that look "british" is to trick fools like you in to buying them

[iainthornton]

@americanu197

how is it a trick?our buying habits told GM that we prefer the idea of Vauxhall to Opel,and so therefore the British public forced GM into keeping Vauxhall.I don't see how it's a 'trick',especially since we don't particularly see Vauxhall as British.and we buy more German than British cars,really it's nothing like what you say so really you're just trying to be offensive for no reason.

I don't want to be offensive to you,so please accept it's just a branding exercise.not a trick

[iainthornton]

@DKGate7Ultras

shut the fuck up,and learn to spell 'Vauxhall'

clearly you don't understand brand engineering

the fact is that once we had both Opel and Vauxhall but Opel wasn't popular

so GM focused on Vauxhall

to cut costs, they shared components

and eventually names too, so the Vauxhall Nova became Vauxhall Corsa

Opel Kadett became Opel Astra, and so on. and it wasn't the British who changed the name, since when is GM British?

[igotnoideawhattoput]

Australia should import this car rather than having those stupid commodores~~~

[RnB123100]

its the new regal gs

[Bozacar]

Prefect car... Best Opel ever...

[Soetman]

wierd to see this car without the Opel badge

[JELH]

I don't like the "fang" shaped front air-intakes.

[Cthulhuite]

My Cavalier is still going after 15 years and the only thing that's needed changing past the normal brakes\wheels\oil was the clutch. 190K on the clock and still climbing!

I'll probably buy one of these next, it's about time for a new car and if it's even half as reliable as the Cavalier\Vectra then that's twice as good as most of the crap on the roads these days.

[colpitts350]

This car is coming to Canada with a Buick badge. Can't wait!

[brysden]

Filmed in the Lake District

[sandrobaracchi]

1:51 looooool

[fin197777]

yes i believe it was shot in the brecon beacons.... could be wrong but certainly looks like the roads round there..

[AernoutMJC]

Does anybody know where this was shot? Thanks!

[bottletree33]

@AernoutMJC Sorry the replies a little late. It's in the peak district Derbyshire,just outside Sheffield. A57 heading towards Glossop. Great views of Ladybower reservoir.

[MilitantOldLady]

this looks rather good

[emokiddy666]

i know the vxr8 uses a supercharged v8 but i just love the sound of the v6! just like i love the flat 4 n flat 6 sounds, i dnt care about the power, the insignia is very nice one of the best looking beast vauxhall machines.

[ovorocadili]

Fords look very ropey after 5+ years. They just seem to fall apart like French cars. Mondeos are seriously awful for looking tatty after the years pass. Vauxhalls are pretty middle of the road but you do see A LOT of them still knocking around after ten years+. They obviously build them to last.

[Dog328]

It's true! My mate's 7 year old Focus has allready some electric failures, and the praised ultrasharp steering has allready some play in it. (car has just 55.000 miles on the clock)

[Cole112986]

@ovorocadili what do u know ur a pussy

[dam0cles1]

@ovorocadili Wanker knows fuck all die in a pit you cunt

[dldbassist]

@ovorocadili

Had a 2001 mondeo and now an 06 mondeo and the two of them are showroom condition with no problems or any 'falling apart'. Dont see many vauxhalls as old as sierras or mustangs on the roads... Both ford and vauxhalls are designed to last but ford will always triumph whenever it comes to road handling and build quality.

[IsadoreWoW]

@ovorocadili my vauxhall will be 20 next year xD

[C7sCayman]

The best Opel/Vauxhall ever made in my mind.

[TheNewMrCool]

@C7sCayman

I agree, aside from the Australian-badged Vauxhalls.

But what a bland review for such a special car!

[1980KNIGHTRIDER]

@C7sCayman the best vauxhall is vxr8

[MeMiaRoda]

@C7sCayman Think of the Carlton/Omega....way better

[kingflyer223]

@C7sCayman / buick lol

[2rimehike]

Nice video :) Thanks.

[lufbrastu]

lucky you...
