Only beef with newer GM turbo cars is the plastic intake tubing. First thing to get replaced. They did in on the Cobalt SS and now on this platform......not conducive to serious boost.

GM does that to provide jobs in the aftermarket part world

Someone kids sleep warm tonight from making real metal ones.

Just wish they would not cut cost in that area but they are not the only manufacture to do so.

Opel Insignia test:

3300 lbs in FWD so figure 3500 in AWD.

Looks like a 4 is more likely than a 6. Motor Trend:

"The big difference relative to the OPC is replacement of that car's 2.8-liter turbocharged 321-horsepower, 321-pound-foot V-6 with a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbo that's expected to produce at least 255 horses and 295 pound-feet. That abundant force is routed through a six-speed manual to a Haldex all-wheel-drive system that includes an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential. Why ditch the six? According to Craig Bierley, product marketing director for Buick, that engine would likely incur a gas-guzzler penalty, and in any case, the design brief was to build a car that could accelerate to 60 mph in the fives, and the 2.0T was easily able to accomplish that while achieving considerably better fuel economy than the V-6."
