Vauxhall’s new hot Insignia – the Vauxhall Insignia VXR – turned up at the Goodwood Festival of Speed at the weekend as a prelude to its launch – as both the Insignia VXR and the Insignia VXR Sports Tourer – in UK showrooms in September, and Vauxhall has now released prices and details. We first […]
Chevy Volt to take on Vauxhall Ampera in UK
The deal to buy Vauxhall / Opel in Europe by Magna from the beleagured GM is all but done and dusted. But we were surprised to learn that Vauxhall / Opel will not be allowed to sell cars in the US. Perfectly understandable why GM would want that but, considering how much stronger the product […]
New Vauxhall Astra Roadster preview
The guys over at Auto Express certainly knock out a rendering or two of cars that are to come. They’re not always bang on the money, but they make for interesting viewing (sometimes) and we’ve run one or two of their renderings before. With the new Vauxhall Astra starting to be pushed by Vauxhall ahead […]
New Vauxhall Astra – the Interior
Yesterday we brought you a video of the new Vauxhall Astra taking on the Focus and Golf at Millbrook (‘taking on’ is a bit of an exaggeration) which was the starting point for Vauxhall’s build-up of interest in the new Astra before it launches at Frankfurt in September. So it was a bit of a […]
New Vauxhall Astra – the Race
It’s a couple of months since Vauxhall released details of the New Vauxhall Astra, and they are now starting to gear up interest for the launch in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, before the Astra gets released in the UK in October. This sixth generation of the Astra is a good looking car, and […]

Now that GM has gone bankrupt and its European operation Vauxhall / Opel has been taken over by Magna, we are starting to see how things will work dropping in to place. Probably the most significant thing so far is that Opel and Vauxhall will not be allowed to sell cars in the US, or […]
Vauxhall Insignia VXR Sports Tourer revealed
Still on a Vauxhall tag this morning – Vauxhall are busy bunnies at the moment. We had the reveal of the new Vauxhall Astra last week, and the news that the Police are taking off-the shelf Insignia Sports Tourers. And maybe plod new something we didn’t- – that Vauxhall were to reveal the Vauxhall […]
Vauxhall Insignia Sport Tourer – You’re nicked!
When times are tough, you look for business wherever you can. And for GM, times have never been so tough. Practically on the verge of extinction as a whole, certainly in the form we know, but with strong product in Europe with Vauxhall and Opel. And Vauxhall have just announced their latest sales pitch – […]
Opel / Vauxhall Astra revealed
Hot on the heels of the release of the teaser images of the Vauxhall Astra comes the full reveal of the all new Vauxhall Astra. Which rather begs the question: Why bother with the daft teaser picture? Of course, it may be a reaction by Opel/Vauxhall to some of the pictures leaking out, but it […]
New Vauxhall Astra (2010) – the Tease
You’d think Vauxhall would have better things to do with the current GM mess than torment buyers with teaser shots of the new Vauxhall Astra. But, just like every other car maker lately, they seem to think that this is the way to lead-in to a launch. This time we’ve got a variation on a […]
