However the government has a major disincentive in owning one of those, in the form of road user charges. If the government removed user charges for small passnege vehicles, it would make a lot of sense.	robbyp (2751)

Even at 170km/h (on the Autobahn!) I could get 5.5l/100km - the best I have had out of my CRV is 9.1l/100km, and that's using cruise control set at 100km/h!!!	johcar (6283)

608865	2007-11-07 00:41:00	Kilowatts? No Chevrolets? No Blazer/K5's? No 5.7L/350ci Gasoline Engines? No THM700R4 Transmissions? No Transfer Cases? No Carbs? No Big Tires? What kinda sloppy site is that? .......and ya gotta tell me how in the blue sky an Isuzu is in the same league as a Holden..whatever THAT is!	SurferJoe46 (51)
608866	2007-11-07 00:57:00	.......and ya gotta tell me how in the blue sky an Isuzu is in the same league as a Holden..whatever THAT is! Holden = GM = Opel = Vauxhall or whatever And as for chevys well um American cars and environmental awareness are about as likely to be featured in the same sentence as George Bush and Common sense, unless of course the middle words are lack of.. Ok so there are the odd environmentally friendly yank tanks (www.treehugger.com) actually i wouldn't mind owning this, although where the baby seat and the kids will sit is debateable, but i guess i can sit them on the roof rack	Morgenmuffel (187)

The last time OPEL was even allowed any association with the mighty Chevrolet name was when some bean counter got the idea of selling the "Mini Corvette", (laughingly the OPEL GT) in a decal-swap as the next best thing for people who could not afford horsepower and tire smoke and thunderous applause from admiring new-machos who wouldn't know how to drive anything but an automatic transmission slush box . That fiasco of that "car" soon died . . . . even though some small block experts got some REAL performance into the pipsqueak minibox by getting a 350ci/11:1 compression ratio, 750 horses Chevy under the dashboard of the stupid afterbirth of a car . Remember that most of the original OPEL junk engine was under the windshield/dashboard and made it really hard to take off the valve cover without dropping the engine a few inches . OK . . . so what's a Vauxhall? Is it a bread box; a pie tin? Perhaps a musical instrument? It CANNOT be the name of a real car . Sounds like an address: "I live at the corner of Vauxhall and Holden" . It might be the name of a sorority too: The Sigma Delta-Chi's of Vauxhall . C'mon . . . . is there such a vehicle with that name? Really? <I don't wanna insult Google by going there for a search . . . I have my scruples, ya know!>	SurferJoe46 (51)
