If you take a look at the Opel insignia that’s being developed and offered in Europe there’s more than just a sedan in that car. This is a car that offers the fastback rear, but that’s not even the item that has come to my attention. The Insignia is being offered as a sedan, as a wagon and as a hatchback. This brings up the question of whether or not we’ll actually have all three body styles when this car makes its way to the US as the 2018 version of the Buick Regal that we’ve been waiting for.

Do you remember Dodge being part of NASCAR? If you do then you’ve been watching the sport since at least before 2012 because that was the last year that Dodge was part of the NASCAR circuit.

When you buy a car that you’re going to drive and enjoy for the performance it provides you probably want to make a few modifications right away. As much as many might think the first thing to do is to add more power to a vehicle that’s not always the case.
