Rung my local service dept, they put me on hold and what i heard was;
"the new barina is longer, wider and zippier"....."and better fuel economy"....
Damn....zipper and better fuel economy, I'll have to trade in my OLD 92kw
and 5.4lt/100 or 7.8lt/100km (6.6lt/100km average) SRi to one of the NEW 77kw 6.9lt/100km (combined) ones.
And at almost half the price BARGAIN!!!
BULL$HIT, Holden, BULL$HIT
Oh and yeah, I want a small car thats wider and longer than the last one, which is why Im looking at small cars DUH!.
(Granted the 'little' engined 'OLD' barina only had 66kw but it still has better fuel economy)
BLATANT FALSE ADVERTISING!!!

agree with you there, seeing that the new barina is a 1.6L and the previous one was the 1.4L. im still spewing that the Corsa D isnt comming 2 aus, after seeing pics of the VXR GRRRRRR, also was on the vauxhall website last night, and realised that the new corsa d isnt comming out with the 1.8L motor.

Hey man, don't blame Holden.
The dealers choice of material to play to you whilst your on Hold is up to the individual dealer, not Holden
I can understand why Holden didn't bring the new Corsa in. Top petrol engine is a 1.4L!
How would that compete in the market here where people are now expecting 1.6L engines?
Wasn't the reason Holden dropped it though. Most people that buy Barinas wouldn't know what size engine it has, so wouldn't be a factor.

Of course they do... As soon as they test drive the competitors and feel the difference in performance. Especially all the auto drivers.Most people that buy Barinas wouldn't know what size engine it has, so wouldn't be a factor.
People maybe rather ignorant on kW/Nm figures but they will focus on engine size. Especially if it is smaller than the direct competitors
yes BUT using that logic, bigger engine uses more fuel (unless its the opel 1.8)

Not necessarily true. Especially with autos!!yes BUT using that logic, bigger engine uses more fuel (unless its the opel 1.8)
Though my sister reckons here Barina SRi guzzles fuel compared to her old Mazda 121.
