Holden drivers aren't the smartest so they need all the help they can get this is why the VF has all these unnecessary gadgets lol

Wonder if the light fails in the mirror on the change lane warning system if there is going to be an increase in accidents lol
When the BA was launched it had more gadgets then the Commodore. Had some problems early on too. Presumably you were bagging the Falcon out back then, but I just can't seem to find the post.

Good lord. Shut the factory.
You mean to tell me that one of the main features mentioned in every article and write-up, and sure to be a selling point is okay if it fails? "It can even park itself... sometimes!".

Dude, they have been talking this thing up, comparing it to Euro cars, I think we're well within our rights to think things like this should not happen when it is being compared to cars that are well known for build quality and excellence.

It will be interesting to see what other issues arise when people start racking the kms up on these.

Personally, I wouldn't touch one with a 10-foot pole. Too much tech and ambition from a brand who I am not confident can pull it off.
