The Opel Signum is a large family car that was engineered and manufactured by the German automaker Opel 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, which implied that RHD production ended, and both the Signum and the Vectra were replaced in October 2008 by the Opel Insignia range.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United Press International: GM Woes Spell Trouble For Opel )〕 File:Opel Signum 2 Concept 2001 1.jpg|2001 Opel Signum2 Concept File:Opel Signum 1.9 CDTI front.JPG|2003—2005 Opel Signum File:Opel Signum 1.9 CDTI rear.JPG|Although the Signum shares many components with the Vectra, the rear tailgate is completely different File:Opel-signum-green-night-shoot.jpg|2003—2005 Opel Signum File:Opel Signum 1.9 CDTI Edition Facelift Starsilber.JPG|2005—2008 Opel Signum File:Vauxhall Signum 2198cc registered June 2004.JPG|badged as a Vauxhall Signum for the UK == 2001 Signum2 Concept == The Opel Signum2 Concept is a luxury hatchback presented by Opel at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, and the 2001 Bologna Motor Show in Italy.
