AH Astra Turbo Hatch

[daiflu]

Wow! Didn't know these existed (unless it's a conversion). This would be perfect for anyone like me who prefers the shape of the hatch but prefers the punch of a turbo engine.
And the price Hasn't finished yet, but knowing NZ it'll go as cheap as chups!

Yea, in NZ it's cheaper to import even european cars from Japan.

thats the H GSi as its more commonly known

Yes that would be a nice choice to have, but GMH has only brought in the TDi 5 door turbo AH.

The problem is demand - the AH model isn't selling as well as the TS before it, so GMH is reluctant to bring in more of the range variants...the TDi was only brought in to compete with alternative brand TD models.

Same stoty with the AH twin top, as I was told on the weekend, Aust. will definitely not be getting the turbo petrol or diesel variants, because sales are too low to justify it

The TS model sold like hot cakes by comparison...

maybe the models they arent bringing, are the keys to improve the sales?

i cant understand why on earth the 3dr CDTi hasnt been brought here... makes a stong alternative to the SRi-T

Totally agree and have mentioned that one before myself ^^^^

I think it has something to do with how well or not the 5 door TDi AH is selling, according to GMH not enough.

VW seems to have the opposite story with their TD Polo, apparently they can't get enough of them...and the petrol turbo Gti for that matter.

maybe coz the polo tdi has no competition here. a diesel corsa c would nullify the polo tdi sales.. but no, holden will never bring it..

if VW can bring in the polo's and golfs, i dont see why holden cant bring the corsa's and other model astra's. seeing as they both come from the same town.
