Opel Signum

The Opel Signum was a family car engineered and manufactured by Opel in Germany from 2003 to 2008.

It was almost exclusively sold in Europe. In the United Kingdom it was rebadged and sold under the Vauxhall Signum name. The Signum was largely based on the Opel Vectra and used the long-wheelbase version of the GM Epsilon platform, also used by Vectra Caravan.

The car was based on an unusual concept of a very large hatchback with a nearly vertical tailgate. Its dimensions place it between traditional large family cars and executive cars. In most markets, it was also priced accordingly (more expensive than Opel Vectra, but less than e.g. Audi A6). The Signum was intended to capture a whole new market segment.

From March 2008, the Vauxhall Signum was no longer listed on Vauxhall's current price list, implying that RHD production was discontinued, and both the Signum and the Vectra were replaced in late 2008 by the Opel Insignia range.
