I was told that the 2.0T was dropped here in the UK because of poor sales. The 1.6T petrol ( same as in the Astra) is now available, but only in the Insignia Grand Sport in 'Elite' trim (which I think is 'Cosmo' in Europe), when surely SRI owners would go for it.
On the subject of engines, all Opel/Vauxhall engines, with the exception of the new Crossland and Grandland SUV models, which have Peugeot engines, have been developed under GM platforms and will become redundant by 2021/2022, in line with PSA's intention to move all new models onto PSA platforms, and not pay ongoing fees to GM for continued use of their platforms.

Dual tone horns to be replaced with single tone. Rover did this in 2004 when they facelifted the 75. The single tone horn made such a feeble sound that owners had to add the other horn themselves otherwise it was very embarrassing sounding the single horn
With car sales down but still with fixed overheads prices will rise.
