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.

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])
