Default Re: Absolutely brillant! Holden vs Ford: witches-hats - TV commercials

Those cars handled well...for the times.
Easy to look back now and laugh at things like glowing praise of "radial tuned suspension" (which was actually an important advance) or other makers extolling the wonders of Macpherson Strut front suspension over ordinary shockies. We take so much for granted these days it isn't funny. To be blunt, grannies little mid range Corolla would out-handle even expensive supercars from thirty or forty years ago...

I love our old WB ute...but I'm under no illusions that our sons boring old Aurion could run rings around it in just about every area.
Except styling.
