| ![]() This is no test mule, I've been seeing this car regularly on the bannerghatta road - electronic city NICE road stretch, almost on a daily basis for the last 2 months! There is usually a driver along with a passenger in a rear seat. I guess GM is testing the Insignia's rear bench comfort huh? ![]() |

| ![]() I saw the same car yesterday in front of Forum Mall heading towards Madivala, sorry couldn't take any pictures, as underground1419 mentioned, it was chauffeur driven and a passenger in the rear seat reading news paper. Dint look like a test car. Has someone imported the car to use its in India? |

BHPian | ![]() Most of the times the manufacturers get their vehicles to india to do a fiesability study after the studies are done there is an option amongst the company officials of buying off the car at a much cheaper rate. this can be one of those cases. A 'friend of a friends dad' ![]() Btw i find it better looking than the vectra Last edited by konjaril : 25th October 2010 at 11:32. |

| ![]() There is an Automotive company in ITPL also. This probably be the test vehicle for their implementation and test purposes. If so there should have been any sticker as a bonded item. These cars are registered. |

BHPian | ![]() Spotted this Opel sedan this weekend on the HSR Layout ORR. The back lights looked sexy completely lit! It was a Gujarat registered car. ![]() |

Is GM planning to bring back the Opel brand back to India or this could possibly be a company car. | |

| ![]() GM will definitely NOt bring the Opel brand back. They might rebadge this car a Chevy or something.... It could also be a testmule for a new engine or gearbox or some other component. |

| ![]() In response to the Opel Insignia being spotted, as rightly said by Nikhil, the Insignia is part of GM R&D dept, got here for some design studies etc |
