Subject: RE: BS: Just ordered a new car. From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 07 Mar 13 - 05:22 AM Tasty looking motor Alan. Is this actually in production and if so how much is the retail cost. My good lady will be looking for a replacement car later this year. As she drives over 20,000 miles a year she needs something comfortable, reliable, economical ........... and fast. Didn't see any figures regarding this on the link so perhaps you could enlighten me. Cheers Raggytash |

Subject: RE: BS: Just ordered a new car. From: gnu Date: 07 Mar 13 - 06:48 AM " a 1.6-liter, turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engine that can produce around 204 horsepower and mates to a seven-speed DCT transmission and a regenerative-powered electric motor that drives the rear wheels and gives an additional power boost of up to 50 horsepower." Like. Even tho it ain't necessary, and can be turned off. I also like the AWD for safety in crappy weather and the exterior is eye catching. Nice ride. |

Subject: RE: BS: Just ordered a new car. From: Midchuck Date: 08 Mar 13 - 09:19 AM The "Provo" thing reminds me of Chevrolet's attempts, some years ago, to sell the "Nova" in Spanish-speaking latin American countries. Peter |

Subject: RE: BS: Just ordered a new car. From: kendall Date: 08 Mar 13 - 07:33 PM That means no go, eh? Doesn't it mean New in Latin or something? Nova Scotia means New Scotland I think. Rambler also blew it with the Matador. That means killer in Spanish. |
