1184.0. "NEW VAUXHALL ??" by SUBURB::ALLYS (Pass me those pills) Tue Aug 07 1990 14:29

    
    
    I seem to remember one of the car mags saying that a face lifted
    Vauxhall Nova was due out in August, anybody out there no anything or seen
    any pics of it ?? I tried speaking to Great Western Motors, the local 
    Vauxhall dealer, and they claimed to know nothing (as usual).

    No piccies, but rumour seems to suggest the new model will first
    be seen at the Motor Show and on sale immediately afterwards....

    Out of interest, does anyone have any info on the V6 Cavalier ?
    
    Just that I've seen this vehicle advertised and wondered what
    the engine is like.  I recall that Vauxhall have a 'narrow-angle'
    V6 engine, somewhat similar to the VW offering.  What capacity ?
    How much torque ?  At what revs ?

1184.9Cavalier V6ARRODS::BARRONDSnoopy Vs the Red_BarronThu Mar 11 1993 10:0711
This went on sale last week at �16,085 and Vauxhall expect it to sell like
"hot cakes" to fleet buyers.

Vauxhall claims that emphasis has been placed on relaxed cruising 
rather outright performance but the British built 167BHP V6 engine pushes the 
car to a top speed of 146mph and reaches 62mph from rest in 7.8sec.
Standard equipment includes drivers side airbag and seat belt pre-tensioners.
