Vauxhall has confirmed it will reveal third Insignia variant at 2008 Paris Show

One of the biggest fleet cars of the year will be given its world debut at the Paris Salon on October 2 2008.
It will be called the Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer, and will be available to UK buyers in the second quarter of 2009.
Under the bonnet the car will have a choice of two new engines which include a more powerful turbodiesel and a smaller capacity turbocharged petrol unit – this is in addition to the five powerplants available from launch in the saloon and hatchback models.
A green variant will also be included on the line-up. It will be an ecoFLEX Sports Tourer with competitively low emissions and fuel consumption will also be available in the near future.
Mark Adams, Vice-President of GM Europe Design, described the Sports Tourer’s design as athletic, powerful and elegant.
Adams said: However this is a stand-alone model and not simply an estate version of the saloon. In fact, all the bodywork aft of the B-pillars is unique to the Sports Tourer. We’ve also ensured that its design combines the sculptural artistry and technical precision found in the saloon and hatch models.”
Just like the hatch and saloon versions, the Sports Tourer will also be available with front- and all-wheel drive, as well as Vauxhall’s FlexRide system with its Adaptive Stability Technology.
