1934.0. "Change to Cavalier 1.6L?" by YUPPY::CARTER (Windows on the world...) Tue Oct 27 1992 22:07

    As the base car is/was a Cavalier 1.6L anyone know what the situation
    will be now that Vauxhall have done away with the L and now have the LS
    instead.
    
    For example if I order a 1.6L will I get a 1.6LS or a 1.6 of the even
    more basic one - can't remember what it was called...
    
    Also,  anyone had a quote yet for a 1.8i or 2.0i LS?

    Anyone else see an ad last night stating that ALL NEW CAVALIERS would
    be fitted with an AIRBAG as a NO COST option?.
    
    Look like pushback at the threat from the Mondeo, as airbags aren't
    mentioned in the cavalier brochure or price list at the moment.

RE: -.1

I guess that an airbag is the ultimate form of 'pushback'!

    	I've only seen the TV ads that show the safety features of the
    Cavaliers but they show the airbags, although they say that they'll be
    available from March in the text at the end of the advert.

The ad also mentions ABS which isn't standard across the range.

    I saw the advert.  I'm pretty sure they did say that airbags are (or
    perhaps 'will be') standard on all Cavaliers.

    I saw the add and they said the air-bag is available as a no-cost
    option.

1934.8AIR BAGS now standard on Cavalier & Calibra..HEWIE::RUSSELLSo, who did vote for the Tories?Fri Feb 19 1993 15:199
According to this weeks Autocar, all new Cavaliers and Calibras (as well
as the Astra GSi) will now have a drivers air bag as standard, at no
extra cost. The tiltable wheel option has been deleted.

Of course, my car was built last week, before this was announced. How can
you tell if the air bag is fitted? The wheel looks just like a standard
one...

    If it looks like a std. one then it won't have the air bag.
    
    The Prelude has an air bag and the stearing wheel is noticable bulkier
    around the ``hub''. Also if you look under the bonnet you can see the
    actuator - complete with warning telling you not to disconnect it in BIG
    letters.
