I would agree that it's likely to be too big for the tight, twisty uk circuits. The latest insignia is even bigger than the last and dwarfs a 3 series. I think the 3 series and Infinity just about get away with being big because they are RWD which punches them out of tight bends and helps change of direction. An FWD car of that size would likely struggle with change of direction and exiting hairpins. I seem to recall that even when the CC was a front runner, it was better suited to the fast, flowing circuits...
