Opel Signum car - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: The Opel Signum is a large family car manufactured by General Motors in Germany since 2003. It is almost exclusively sold in Europe, in the United Kingdom under the Vauxhall Signum nameplate. Introduced in 2003, the Signum is largely based on the Opel Vectra and uses the long-wheelbase version of the GM Epsilon platform, also used by Vectra Caravan. The car is based on an unusual concept of a very large hatchback [br]with a nearly vertical tailgate. Its dimensions place it between [br]traditional large family cars and executive cars. [br]In most markets, it is also priced accordingly (more expensive than [br]Opel Vectra, but less than e.g. Audi A6). The Signum was intended to [br]partially replace the defunct Opel Omega in its role as an inexpensive yet comfortable executive car, and also capture a whole new market segment. In North America, General Motors offers a vehicle based on a similar [br]concept (yet targeting a different market) and platform, called Chevrolet Malibu Maxx. Compared to a standard five-door Vectra, the Signum has a wheelbase [br]stretched by 13 cm and is 23 cm longer overall, keeping the same width [br]and being slightly (by 6 mm) taller. This provides for very ample rear [br]legroom. Instead of a traditional three-passenger bench seat, the [br]Signum has two separate seats in the rear, which can be adjusted in [br]many ways, including sliding back and forth (just like the front seats) [br]and reclining backrests. There is also a very narrow central section, [br]which includes a folding armrest and can also serve as a third seat [br](the Signum is fitted with three rear headrests and safety belts). The [br]seats can also be folded down individually to increase the cargo space [br]- a system that General Motors calls Flexspace.[br]The Signum shares many body panels (including the complete front [br]part of the body) and interior elements (in particular the complete [br]dashboard and front seats) with the Vectra, but the tailgate and rear [br]fender design is unique to the Signum. The Signum was facelifted along [br]with the Vectra lineup in 2005, getting a new front fascia design and [br]slight changes elsewhere. Jeremy Clarkson [br]road tested the Signum in 2003 and found that he preferred the rear [br]cabin to the front (and praised its storage bin which, according to [br]him, Opel designed just for celery). Clarkson used a combination of [br]hoes, string and levers to drive the Vauxhall Signum over a short [br]distance. He is a noted critic and despiser of the Vectra but claimed [br]that Opel should be applauded for making the Signum a "dadsy" car to [br]supplement their "mumsy" car (Opel Zafira). All Signums are made alongside Vectras in Opel's Russelsheim plant in Germany.
