The wraparound architecture of the cabin and most of the trim and switchgear would do justice to a car at Jaguar XF level.

The engine pulls strongly right to its redline, and sounds and feels more sophisticated than any four-cylinder Vauxhall in your memory-bank. The six-speed gearbox’s change quality sets it far ahead of any Mondeo, and it doesn’t hurt that the lever, its gate and trim surround are all things of beauty.

Grip is plentiful, even in standard two-wheel drive guise, and damping at high speed over undulations wouldn’t disgrace a BMW.

The buyer who opts for a Vauxhall Insignia is choosing a damned good car, even when the field includes Mercedes, BMW and Audi.

Still not 100% about the chrome grill - reckon a colour coded one would look meaner 8)

I can't wait for it. But the 2.8 V6 will be in the top tax band so that will be £440 for next year. :(
