    What do you folks think? Or is there something I'm missing!? Do GM think consumers are idiots... Or is it that they know consumers are idiots?:confused:

    Its a strange one alright, i mean you can get a 7 seat captiva but not an antara.However the antara, which i've sat into, is a very nice car to be in, seems very well built with good materials.That said, the one i was in was very well specced with red leather etc...Nearly 50000, i believe the price was.The prices you've metioned are for the 2.4 petrol models.I doubt anyone would buy one of these.The diesels cost from 36995 and 41350 respectively.However, the captiva is 2 wheel drive at this price but the antara is 4x4.the next one up in the captiva line up is 40995 which is 4 wheel drive and has 7 seats.What i also noticed on : http://www.carzone.ie/newcars/ is that the antara has 4 vented disks where the captiva has 2.Also more importantly, the antara has ESP as standard but the captiva does not in basic spec.TBH i would'nt but any of these cars.What i'd get is the new VW tiguan

    you get a whole sliding scale with them SEAT/Skoda - VW - Audi. Got a budget? We've got a badge to suit it.

    The rebadge any car you want and charge a premium for the badge. see above , you have the cheap option, Skoda/Seat. Middle of the road with VW and premium priced Audi.
