MikeB4 ◊ 2009-02-10 22:23	And a BMW CS on the middle lane ;-)
Ingo ◊ 2009-02-10 22:29	No CS, rather an E3-Limousine
Lateef ◊ 2010-10-06 17:30	You mean more like '83 VW Polo, don't you? Since the movie is from 1983...
Lateef ◊ 2011-01-11 10:54	Shouldn't this rather be listed as a sedan?
Ingo ◊ 2011-01-11 11:03	If the first owner has not paid extra charge for the big tailgate... Typical for German car-makers: every little extra costs extra.
Nightrider ◊ 2011-08-30 11:55	ingo wrote If the first owner has not paid extra charge for the big tailgate... What did you mean? There was different tailgate options?
Sunbar ◊ 2011-08-30 12:36	'The big tailgate' refers to the fact the base model Kadett/Astra was for a short time available also as a sedan with a small trunk lid and fixed rear window rather than the full sized rear tailgate.
Ingo ◊ 2011-08-30 21:09	Correct - and the big tailgate has cost extra charge (same as Volkswagen did with the Passat [Typ32])
