I just saw one of these on the road (didn't know it existed)

Is it just me that didn't know it existed?
Pretty handsome in the flesh for a VX, though looks fussy in the pictures and from certain angles.

Am I reading the price right? FROM £37,250??? No thanks.
Im f*****g sick to death of going over this again and again.The only way anyone would or could ever buy anything in the range for list price would be to refuse outright any discount they offer.
However, you will be able to get a £5k government grant.
Anyway, as far as I can see from elsewhere on the web, the practical starting price is 33k, which is 28k after the government grant (unless places are actually listing the price including the grant).
OK it's still a fair bit more than an Insignia, but you wouldn't have to cover that many miles to cover the difference and the BIK rate will be massively lower (40g/km). For 99% of my driving, I'd be paying no petrol duty at all, since I'd be running it fully on electric power, which would appeal to many people in itself.

Even with 20% off it's still £30k, not exactly cheap. You'd have to be committed to 'the environmental cause' & overlook some well established & cheaper alternatives to pick one. Looks not unlike the Honda Insight btw....The only way anyone would or could ever buy anything in the range for list price would be to refuse outright any discount they offer.

It'll get an infinite number of miles per gallon under the vast majority of driving conditions in the UK, because it wont be running on liquid fuel at all. king. way. that it will get 235.4 mpg combined even in the misunderstood lab conditions that produce official fuel consumption and CO₂ figures. No. fking. Way.The fuel economy test is particularly stupid with plug-in vehicles, though.

No it won'tAs the engine is forced to start once a month by the brain to make sure it still works
Anyway as we know from all the EV threads that the average journey by a pistonheader is 376 miles at no point has anyone ever had a 20 mile commute to a 9 to 5 job
