Bought a new car.

I really really really like the Insignia. It's probably the top list of family haulers I'd like to own, and as close to a wagon as Toyota has come in many years.

Congrats, looking forward to the photos and your impressions.

Thanks, it is as wagonish as it gets these days. I'll post some photos soon.  Took it for  good drive this evening to check out the lighting and it's pretty good.  Like that it has headlight washers as well as we used that feature a lot on the GS-350.

I test drove the Crown sedan and loved it.

Congrats!

Thanks Ron!

GODDAMN, I was gonna guess that, but it's so oddball, I didn't bother to.

I find the regular Crown to have very goofy proportions, but the Crown Signia is eminently better looking.  Very shooting brake. 

Congrats, and I'm sure this will have no issues being the last vehicle you buy.  A modern Volvo would have been a riskier proposition long term.

Thanks!  Shooting brake is what came to my mind on first sight as well.

Congrats! Interesting choice, but hard to go wrong with a Toyota given your priorities here.

Congrats KD.

Damn, should thought of that one!

I have it im my driveway next month !! I spent time on the road with both the sedan and the wagon during Toyota's Kanreki cross-country trip. The Signia was a pre-production unit with a few odd plastics, looking forward to the press car.

Indeed, it's like a reliable V60 that's better on gas while using regular instead of premium. No idea why these things aren't selling any better.

Pics - we need pics !!

Yup, would've never guessed this one... figured some sort of Lexus product again... but I guess Toyota isn't too far off. Congrats! Pics please as was already requested

I think one of the main reasons why it doesn't sell more is the less rugged exterior design and the price increase over the RAV4 Hybrid, which is also a more rugged design.  Personally I'd pick the Insignia over the RAV4 but I'm not like most buyers.
