    Spying: Opel Refreshes Insignia for 2013

    G. Noble

    Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com

    April 12th, 2012

    The Opel Insignia is certainly a well-traveled piece of automotive design. Currently, the German mid-sized sedan is sold in mainland Europe as, obviously, the Opel Insignia, in the UK as the Vauxhall Insignia, and in China and North America as the Buick Regal. For 2013, you can add Australia to the list of countries the Insignia has been to as Opel prepares to introduce the brand to the market there for the first time, but before that takes place, the German automaker plans to give its award-winning sedan a bit of a makeover.

    Spy photographers snapped these shots of the refreshed Insignia undergoing testing in Europe recently. Although the eyeball-busting camo doesn’t reveal any small details, it is obvious that Opel will mildly update the front and rear bumpers, the grille, and the headlights and taillights. It’s also expected that the Insignia will also have some mild updates to its interior as well. At the moment, the Insignia’s styling hasn’t been touched since it was revealed in 2008.

    Besides Australia getting the Insignia for the first time, we have to wonder if this nipped and tucked version of the German sedan means that our Regal will be treated to the same updates in the near future.

      Considering the number of folks that have had their life cut short in Hanford here due to what was supposed to be storage for life of radioactive Liquid, I would say this will fail and contaminate the earth, animals or humans in a new and destructive way. Honestly, I remember this from the news and the science behind it that it is the best way to store Nuclear waste, as a glass solid and then put it into an underground bunker like the old salt mines in the SW. SRS - Programs - Waste Solidification QUOTE: The largest radioactive waste glassification plant in the world, DWPF converts the high-level liquid nuclear waste currently stored at the Savannah River Site (SRS) into a solid glass form suitable for long-term storage and disposal. Scientists have long considered this glassification process, called “vitrification,” as the preferred option for immobilizing high-level radioactive liquids into a more stable, manageable form until a federal repository is ready.

      ummmm yeah... Deep geological disposal... Away from where humans live deeeeeep down bee-low. Away from the top soil deep in the earth's core.  Sealed in containers that wont leak, sealed in chambers that will contain the leakages, if there is a such a leakage to begin with, that themselves wont leak deeeeeeeeep down bee-low with nuclear waste that has been neutralized.   All nice things when spoken but what IS the reality and the TRUTH about this storage? Colour me just a tad skeptical.  And why? We cant seem to stop a freakin' faucet from leaking with attempts and trials and errors that span a millennia. We cant seem to stop ANY liquids from escaping their containment, again, a practice that we have tried to do spanning a millennia or two or three.   Even four and five...  So know, we wanna poison the earth from deeeep inside as we are NOT content of killing our planet from above.   My my!!!   We are quite the destructive little shytes we are!!!
