Commodores suck - petrol

[maloo97]

Don't be silly....looking at it from an economical and environmentally responsible perspective, the Ferrari's and Lamborghini's not only SUCK....they are utter pieces of crap that stink so bad even manure is the latest JLo fragrance compared to them.

Pfft. Good one bornsoft.

Past ????

Have you seen the 'Present' 888 AH Astra diesel turbo in action ???

You'll see exactly what I mean

Yes, it's embarassing, almost as much muck as a big semi truck going flat chat.....!

Very true, I remember being behind a VW Golf TDi once, could hardly make it out when it took off from the black plume and had to shut my windows from the 'stink'.....on top of that the clatter,clatter,clatter sound :sick:

I have mentioned it before, but I wonder how many turbo diesel owners have been 'uneccessarily' dobbed in by enviromental freaks to the EPA dob in a smoking car campaign thingy LOL

I can't believe you guys are so easy to wind up...

In suburban areas commodres are crap

However on the highway in australia you can't beat em.

When we did a 11,000km road trip it averaged petrol in the high 6s which is pretty good.

yes I know a diesel could probably get better fuel consumption but the amount of space, suspension comfort and storage capacity ,industrauctability and tyre noise were all great features. Also from the VX series two onwards i think they have the best cruise control system in the business. the flick system is much easier and more controllable than the astra/european button press in thingy.

Anyway just my 2c.

I would ask the Commodore supporters one question: if it is as good as you say, why isn't iGM selling it worldwide? Is it because is too "specialized", too adapted to Oz conditions and wouldn't work anywhere else?

Someone said that, unlike an Astra, the Commodore can carry 5 adults in comfort... That's true, but only if one of the passengers has no legs, ha ha!
C'mon guys, we all know this sort of car is endangered species...
