They've had a first gen for close to 2 years now. Apparently they just got the 2nd one. A 2010 now sitting in their driveway with a whopping 19 kms on it.

Here's a quote from my dad for ya;

'The old OX is a 2007 with the 3.4 engine and I haven't checked the mileage the old fashioned way for a long time. The gauges say the current tank full is giving us 9.5 Lts. per 100 klics. but that was going to Sarnia running around there and here. The numbers your friend is leary of likely are the 2010 4 bangers with 6 speed and 17 in. rubber like ours. Add a 6 cyl. and all wheel drive etc. and it goes downhill. We shall see if we get what G.M. is saying.'
