Just wondering what the environmental impact of burning out a Zafira is likely to be. Would it be more or less than the difference between what is declared for a broadly equivalent VAG vehicle and what it actually emits?
How much NOx, particulates, etc. comes from a Zafira?

Don't know, but both GM trucks and BMWs have some record of elecrical fan motor fires.
Haha. Zafira? Apparently you should be more worried about them bursting into flames.

Whoosh.
Is that what a Zafira sounds like when it bursts into flames? :-)

I wonder where they get these stupid names for cars these days?
The dictionary of meaningless words in any language.

Vauxhall f***ed up when they came up with Nova, which means "won't go" in Spanish. That's the kind of pratfall they want to avoid. That and building s**te like the Zafira.
I quite like Seat's practice of using the names of Spanish cities.
They were going to call one model of Rolls Royce the "Silver Mist". 'Til someone pointed out that Mist = S*it in German
Zafira is a victor. Names so very often are like wheels and just go round and round.
Except, of course, the car that was called the Vauxhall Nova in the UK was called the Opel Corsa in Spain. And in every single country it was sold in apart from the UK (and Australia, where it was the Holden Barina)
If you want to laugh at GM for using "Nova", then the 1962 Chevrolet Nova might be a better starting point.
Except, of course, the whole story's a load of bollocks.

In AOL style, Mii too?
Well, quite.
And who'd like to be the first to tell 'im that neither Ibiza or Alhambra are cities? Or Inca. Or Terra. Or...
The most interesting question is why the plastics are not self extinguishing as is required for goods used in the home or office. IIRC our plastic mouldings had to self extinguish in less than a minute.
Odd they named a vehicle after a theatre in Bradford.
