Title: i30 Wagon being assessed for Australia
Post by: Dazzler on June 09, 2008, 09:32:30

Hi Guys,

A mate just bought my attention to this article (He was the guy who talked me into the i30 in the first place) and who is hanging out for the wagon...

His name is Dorian... and I'm hoping he will become a member! He is a knowledge dude with many skills (grovel, grovel)

Cheers,

Looks good. I prefer the stying of the Hatch but the extra space of the wagon would be good.

Apparently the exra space is minimal to the hatch . Some of our pommy mates may be able to comment.

You could be right Mullet.. think it looks slightly more balanced than the hatch..but the little bit of extra room will probably equate to $1000+ premium you would expect.

Guess it might be appealing to some (could actually sell well when you think about it, as there are not a lot of cheap economical small wagons to choose from...)

Thanks Eye... We knew that much...

But, have you seen one in the flesh (is there much extra room in the back)

Is it pleasing to the eye? Are they selling well , etc.etc...

Thanks,

Dazz
