Right, the Insignia has gone back and I have the IS back.
Elder gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying: But really, a 9-3 convertible TTiD. Did they offer the TTid convert in XWD, or was it just the hard top? That would be something. The diesel isn't available with XWD at all. Even the 9-3x is FWD only with XWD, same with the new 9-5. Whether it's a shortage of space or inability to handle the torque, I dunno, but there's apparently total show-stopped problems with it.

Bit of a git that, design an grunty twin turbo diesel, and not have a 4wd system to make the most of it. Could really have pushed it up there as a car to have out side of the rep market. -- Carl Robson Get cashback on your purchases Topcashback http://www.TopCashBack.co.uk/skraggy_uk/ref/index.htm Greasypalm http://www.greasypalm.co.uk/r/?l=1006553

IT IS DIESEL. Diesel owners are only interested in saving money. 4x4 is expensive, therefore it wouldn't sell.

There is no market outside of the rep market, or at least not one worth competing in. That's why nobody makes interesting cars anymore. -- Douglas

Had the merc for over 3 years now. -- And remember kids, RAID is safe and the UPS never fails, and Cisco routers never develop intermittent faults, and external hard drives never fail with only a month's use, and the DNS is reliable and resilient, and the mailserver is protected from all forms of attack, and the replacement UPS will be reliable as the first one was an unusual failure. No one will ever guess /that/ password, the aircon can't fail 285V is close enough to 230, and the QoS on the PWan won't obstruct the tagged traffic.
