January, we are pleased to update you with further
information, including key dates for available and
forthcoming

New Insignia
Specification Update:
- Beige dune cloth interior trim is
now available to order on new Insignia Exclusiv
models
- New exterior solid colour Royal Blue
is now available to order on all models
- The innovative Front
Camera System with speed sign recognition and lane departure
warning functions will be available from July 2009
We are also pleased to advise
you that the first deliveries of new Insignia Sports Tourer
will commence 6 April 2009. Available to order now, this body
style is competitively priced at just �17,865 on-the-road for
the 1.8i 16v VVT Exclusiv model.*1 And thanks to
the latest, stringent emissions technology, both the 2.0CDTi
16v (130PS) and 2.0CDTi 16v (160PS) diesel engines fall under
the important 160g/km threshold with CO2
of just 157g/km - placing them in the 22% banding
for BiK for tax year 2008/09.*2
Improved fuel
economy announced for Zafira models
Reflecting our commitment
to tax-efficient, cost-effective motoring, we are pleased to
announce reduced CO2 emissions and
improved fuel economy for Zafira 1.9CDTi 16v (150PS) manual
models. The models affected are listed below together with the
revised environmental data.*3

We would like to highlight
that with a reduced CO2 output of just
159g/km, there are now 12 Zafira models under the
all-important 160g/km threshold eligible for a 20% Writing
Down Allowance when the new Capital Allowance regime is
introduced in April 2009. And it's good news for your drivers
when it comes to Benefit-in-Kind tax, as the 1.9CDTi 16v (150
PS) models have now dropped two BiK bands to
22%.*2
For your information, the
Vauxhall Car and Accessory Price Guide, effective 3 February
2009, includes this revised technical information.
