Now, how many of us know why there are extra lights in the boot?

I assumed that was the “Redneck” add-on for when you overload your station wagon to carry more than it should.

easy , in case you leave tailgate up due to long load.

Oh cool just noticed those! I would assume it’s so people can still see your lights while you have the trunk open on the side of the road to change a tire.

sir, sir, me sir!

It’s to meet rear light regulations in regards to sidelights, brake lights, indicators, etc... for when the tailgate is open sir.

Is the answer. It follows from EU visibility regs, you must be able to see certain of the lights at all times. Most makers do it differently.

Isn’t actually the answer although they could be used for that. EU visibility regs mandate that various lights be visible at all times. The thinking is that if you break down on a busy road at night following traffic will be less likely to drive into you.

I need the VXR Regal/Insignia. Also the new Astra.

Dammit GM. Still giving Europeans all the fun stuff.

The engine of the OPC was also used on Saabs. I don’t know if they were offered in the US tho.

Such an awesome car! But the backseats are a bit stiff.

Here you go my friend,

Or was this what you wanted in the new Astra?

Bonus Astra Xtreme.

I think it’s all what is now called ecotec in GM turbo parlance. I’ve heard of some of the last Saabs being tuned pretty crazy on stock parts, I think. We got turbo Saabs in the 2000s I know for sure.

You knew just what I wanted. That new Astra is something I desperately hope gets brought stateside.
