How will an imported L200 pick-up be taxed?

Hi,

I'm looking to bring in a 2010 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian, but want to bring it in for private use so not commercial. I have called the tax office and Revenue and no one can tell me whether it will be taxed on the CO2 emissions or on the engine size. Can you help?

Looking for a very spacious family car!

I'm looking for a 2008/2009 family car with room for three children. Need good fuel economy and low tax. What would you suggest? Can be any type, make or model. Children aged 5, 7 and 12 years all tall and need space and Dad tall also, so would need a bit of room.  About 15,000 to 20,000 miles a years.

Thanks
