Add model introduction here.
The Vauxhall Vectra (virtually identical to the Opel Vectra sold in most European countries other than Great Britain) has been around for some years now. The first mid-size Vauxhall to be sold in Britain with the Vectra name was launched in 1995 I believe, and replaced the Cavalier. From launch the car was available as a saloon, hatchback or estate.
 
The 1995 model was essentially a re-skin of the previous Cavalier, sharing much of the under the skin engineering with its predecessor. The new model launched in 2001 was radically different. Bigger, and better in almost every way, Vauxhall finally had a competitive car in this segment. It received a face lift in Autumn 2005, which further sharpened the car up.
 
The Vectra is due for replacement next year (2008) by the all-new Insignia, which promises to be even better, and much more exciting too.
