I'm pretty happy with the driveability of the trans right now, are these 8-speeds a fail point?

It’s a damn beautiful German designed wagon. I want one, ESPECIALLY in that blue!! They were very disappointed in the performance of the Aisin 8 speed auto and GM stated in the review the 2019 would get the GM 9 speed.

Thanks, I'm surprised how great this thing is. It's definitely sharp, already have a bunch of compliments on it just at the gas station haha.

Ahh, okay. Well performance wise, I haven't felt any issues... if it really bothers me, I could always tune it when HPTuners adds the compatibility

I really like this and to be honest didn't even know it existed before you posted this thread. I've always liked the performance euro wagons and this reminds me of them.

I wonder what it would look like with body matching fender cladding (or no cladding) as I think I would side with your wife and go with the pearl white.

It's brought over from the Opel Insignia, so it is a GM Euro wagon, but we don't get the version without the plastic cladding like they do.



The pearl white was nice, but this one was optioned how we wanted, and I love this color in person. I really need to shoot a few interior shots and try to get good pictures of the color. Gorgeous blue flake.

Some of the colors don't look very good with that thick trim but dark colors look good imo

That’s because some idiot at GM thinks everyone wants an Outback, even though the Outback has more ground clearance and is much better off road. This is more like a Legacy wagon, which didn’t have plastic cladding.

Very cool car, how's the legroom in the backseat?

It's extremely roomy. Although my wife and I are both 5'8, so we don't have the front seats back very far. But between the back seat and front seat in our normal position is still a bunch of room. My father-in-law is over 6 foot and he was comfortable when he went for a ride after we got it.

Was able to get some interior shots this weekend, and a good close-up shot in the sun that really shows the color well.

Damn. You could definitely fit some bodies in that cargo area.

Hmm, looks a lot like the blue velvet camaro color from '15-'16.

Technically it’s an Opel before GM sold that division off.

Yeah, it's definitely roomy. It's a very comfortable car, should fit our family needs nicely.

Yeah, it's the Opel Insignia, I'm happy to have a nice euro wagon option in the GM lineup.
