	Frontera is the olny one I'd be likely to want.


	Heather

    If you really think about it I  can't see Calibra's or Frontera's being
    on the scheme:
    
    I reckon it'll be Astra's, Cavaliers, and maybe the Carltons and
    Senators

Nova GSi
Frontera Sport
Astra SRi

    Re -2
    
    My wife's scheme at Unisys is a Vauxhall one and includes all cars upto
    and including the Lotus carlton.
    
    Quote from Letter on Scheme:
    
    "they also have an excellent range of vehicles covering sports models,
    saloons, smaller economy models, diesels, estates 4WD, etc (plus Saab)"
    
    Paul

The PCL should have a price for all Vauxhalls and Saabs
and a price list for all extras. Otherwise, what's the 
point.


And, re a few back. I thought about it and I can't see
why Calibras shouldn't be on the PCL. Can you explain please?

    1. Lotus S4 (or an M300)
    2. Corvette� ZR1
    3. Lotus Carlton

    PS Why did we pick Vauxhall, if 30% of us chose them then 70% did not
    also don't GM own EDS - why are we sponsering them.
    
    �Corvette are owned by GM aren't thay ?

    Based on my experience with other computer companies that have similiar
    Vauxhall schemes, they only allow certain models to get the cheap
    prices, ie just Cavaliers and Astra's, for example.

in the US:

 Buick
 Chevrolet (Corvette, Camaro, etc)
 Pontiac (Firebird, Grand Prix, etc)
 Oldsmobile
 Cadillac
 Geo
 GMC Trucks

In Europe:

 Opel

 Vauxhall

In the US there is no immediate link to Saab or Lotus at the moment.

    LOTUS CARLTON or nothing.....:->
    
    

    
    Just like the one in the picture on page .... (ah no page numbers) ...at 
    section 26 of the 'Digitals Car Scheme' Book... well if its in there it 
    MUST be available.

Can't say I find any of them particularly appealing.

unhelpfully,

Chris.

 The new ASTRA convertible is looks stunner, so where is it in the 
 brochure you might add? Does this mean each time there is a new
 model we will get another glossy?  

 Regards,

 Stewart.

I don't think the new cabrio is officially released till
July 7th. even if it came out end of last week, the
brochure wouldn't have it in. I do agree though. The new
cabrio does look good - a lot better than the current 
(previous) shape.



	Ian

The Nova is no more, there is always the Corsa GSI
The senator is no more, or soon to be that way, too.

Don't the Astra GSI and the Calibra 
(and for that matter the cavailier) all get slammed in the Handling and Ride
categories, ie No Driver appeal.

Dave D.

	So long as you don't mind it handling like a ship around corners
	(actually for such a heavy car front drive car it goes round quite
	well) it goes like a train on motorways.  It's got a great engine (it'll
	pull in any gear at any speed.

    How about an estate car the same size as a Mondeo?  ;-)

    Thank God we didn't go for the most boring set of cars around... FORDs
    
    The Mondeo is plain bland, at least Vauxhall/Opel designers design cars
    the rest copy!

    Well, without getting personal, I would say "to each his own".
    
    I have enjoyed driving Ford for a few years whereas I don't enjoy
    driving Vauxhall (I realise that UK_CARS may not be the best place in
    the world to admit this but honesty is still the best policy in my
    mind).  I'm afraid I just don't like Vauxhall's ergonomics or driving
    position - sorry!
    
    And anyway, I feel you may have rather missed the point.  I want a
    family saloon size estate and Vauxhall just don't produce one.  I've
    tried an Astra and it feels to small.  I can't afford a Carlton.
    
    So without wishing to wrap another note around the brick and throw it
    back over the wall, I'll take a Mondeo thank you very much.
    
    Jon

Yes. This has been brought up in here already. GM do not
offer a "complete" range of cars. No medium size saloons,
no two seaters, no seven seaters, no MPVs. 

Has this been fed back to CC?


	Ian

    
    .17 as obviously not driven a Mondeo. I've just done 300 miles in a 
    1.6LX over the last couple of days and it's a really good all-rounder. 
    It's the first car I've driven for quite some time that made me want
    to drive it just for the hell of it. Much more fun than a Cavalier!
    
    Great shame that they are not on the 'list'.
    
    Richard.
    
    ps. The Mondeo estate has a greater load area than the Granada.
    

re.20:

I have driven a Mondeo. I think it's the best new Ford in years. If they
continue this progress across the range, they have some chance of catching up
with the rest of the manufacturers.

I thought the use of :-) was only for the benefit of our trans-atlantic cousins
and this is CARS_UK.

    I'm not surprised. The load-space in the new Granada estate is
    significantly smaller than in the old one. Just one of the reasons I
    deserted Fords for the first time in years, and bought a Pug 405
    estate instead.
