The Opel Insignia is a large family car engineered and produced by the German automaker Opel. Production of the Insignia began in 2008 as a replacement for the Opel Vectra. GM Europe/Opel launched the vehicle at the 2008 British International Motor Show in London as the Vauxhall Insignia, reflecting the Vauxhall brand that is unique to the United Kingdom. The vehicle is marketed as the Opel Insignia throughout continental Europe and Ireland. The vehicle is known as the Buick Regal in China and North America. In Chile, the vehicle will be marketed as the Chevrolet Vectra. The Insignia is the first production car to feature a dual-function frontal camera with traffic sign recognition. The Insignia was voted 2009 European Car of the Year

In unserem Vergleichstest treffen zwei Sportlimousinen der Mittelklasse aufeinander. Trotz ihres eher braven Auftritts haben es die beiden Kontrahenten faustdick hinter den Ohren. Während der Opel Insignia OPC dank Turboaufladung 325 PS mobilisiert, setzt der Audi S4 auf Kompressoraufladung und schickt so 333 PS an alle vier Räder.
