    Let me guess, minimum spec with no options? The 1.0l would be something different at least!

    I see the Department Of Transports website Motortax.ie have taken down their motor tax rates page where you put in the reg and it told you the rate for your car because their system can't cope with the 3 digits for the year :D

    Motorcheck doesn't have the regular yet.

    Without the dashes, that would look a bit like a pre-1987-style registration... "131 LSI"

    I don't think it'll even help sales all that much. If you're in the market for a new car, 6 months isn't that long to wait to get a 141 reg as opposed to a 132 reg, so people will hold out till the next year.

    Who'll buy 131 cars in May/June now? So summer will be dead for sales

    Well the time gap between reg's changing being short is part of the problem, a change in year is still a bigger jump than changing the last digit.

    The only way to really confuse people, and make them forget about the registration year is to switch to just number, which goes up by 1 every 5, 7 or 9 months, just to mess with peoples heads.

    Now, I'm not a scientician, or a Car Salesologist, so SIMI probably knows better than I, BUT would the poor cars sales have anything to do with the fact that people mightn't have €20k+ to shell out for a new car every year (or the banks won't give it to them)?

    Or that there seems to be very poor value in new cars, with people being charged through the roof for extras.

    You guess wrong. Seems to have alloys and fog lights.

    1.0T won't sell big - the prices are very similar to corresponding 1.6TDCI diesels.

    Not sure about optional extras costs but there does seem to be decent deals with servicing thrown in for 3 years and some giving deals with free fuel etc. Years gone by you were lucky to get the first inspection service for free.

    Are the dashes legally required?

    Did I see somewhere that the 1.0T had ridiculous emissions?

    No. It has very low emissions, and low road tax. The issue is the price relative to 1.6TDCI's.

    Because it's all about the turf burners in this country.

    I thought I read somewhere that the 1.0T was putting out 271PPM Co2. It was around the time the 1.0T kit car did the 'Ring faster than the Enzo.

    Both power outputs (100 and 125bhp) are band A (2012) I think.

    Edge pack is free at the moment. Don't think anyone buys the very basic model, so that is about as low a spec as you'd get.

    The 1.0 litre petrol will still have some appeal to someone doing mostly city driving though. Granted, this will be a minority who don't just follow the herd and buy a diesel.
