I only have 20gig of data a month on the phone. Quoting your diatribes would use it all in one evening.

Rather impractical unless you live damn close to shops and your job.
But yeah this. Whilst it does feel expensive paying 1.55+ per Liter a lot of Europe and I believe New Zealand are paying 2+ dollars per liter.

Why would you want a heavier/clumsier/thirstier/less safe version of this?

We wont get it here though no doubt
Bet we don't get the 2.0-litre hybrid with 178bhp either...

While I don't disagree with that statement, I don't see a way a 'normal' wagon would work for me.
Went 'camping' at a caravan park and filled a VY Commodore wagon to the roof, and that's without any cooking/eating equipment, or bikes.
The VE/VF wagons are smaller, and the current version is smaller again.
I'm with Johnny.

Yeah, because then you spend more on electricity and most likely more on repairs when it breaks down.

Huh? It’s a hybrid, not an EV.
And I think most cabbies these days will tell you the tech is reliable.

And how often do you need that capacity? It’s a lot of fuel etc for the extra heft if it’s usually unutilised. Get a trailer. Or a minivan.

Is Johnny’s 7.8/100 worse than a regular large wagon? Hardly.

Imagine how efficient it would be it was sleeker and lighter... But are you one of those uber rare types that actually goes off road?My SUV does 7.8l per 100k average on road and can go off road as well.
Jam your ‘normal station wagon’ and your theory that everyone who owns a big car is compensating for something, ya condescending tosser.

Depends what it is and what you’re comparing it to... Current Camry hybrid does 4.2 litres and it’s not a little car. If the market was really about fuel prices there would still be a wagon version....

The Taxi companies that I know of here get them fixed in house and some of the components are not cheap.

But clearly they are not unreliable or exxy to run in the long term it they’re used as taxis. Probably better than the steady diet of ball joints and brake rotors and wheel bearing and transmissions the Falcons used to consume....

Pretty often actually. And it's less fuel than commodore, about par with Johnny. Won't do minivan as 1) wife doesn't like having cargo in the passenger compartment 2) I have some self respect.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
It’s a hell of alot better than the 12/100 ute I drive all around sydney everyday.
Ha! Pull the other one mate

That last comment sums up the market pretty well, suvs are bought for fashion reasons or for reasons not related to actual needs more often that not.
For me I wouldn’t drive an suv for the same reason...

The Prius have a problem with the generator fucking out on them, the mechanic I spoke to said some as early as 80000kms. I can't remember the exact figure the mechanic said but something like $8000 to replace it as it's part of the transaxle. A small car like that wouldn't really suit a lot of people to start with.
