yeah i love chevy, got really excited when they launched over here last year, i was chanting corvette corvette corvette, and then they go and bring out all these "economical hatchbacks" which was frankly dissapointing.

If you want less taxes, decent cars and some sunshine, america is the place to be I think...!

I had a Chevy until last year when I decided the consumption rate was too high and switched to one of the top green cars in the common market. The Fiat Panda :mrgreen: it's rated No3: even greener than the Prius, which only comes in at No7 in the chart.

Over 70% of the price of petrol in the UK is tax and sales tax as you yanks call it. And then the nice government take 40% of our wages....its just brilliant.

The sainted Gordon takes about half our income in one way or another and then spends a great of that telling us how to spend the other half.

We should be grateful that our beloved leader takes such an interest in us.
