Dam we are way pass this subject bud. Just because it is a hold on post doesn't mean you can't bring up other info or make new conversation lol it's happens on any post . Just because you like ugly cars. even if it did have a Ford badge I wouldn't praise it at all. What type of car do you own

Fords technology is better also and America has their own holden version which is also sold in Australia and new Zealand nothing different about them but the badge though. Not just do they sell more they produce more and are much bigger also. Tell me something I don't already know pal. Every thread goes off a bit as the same subject gets boring.

Adults create their own bed time bud.. and yes it also looks like a Mazda also. We call them hold ons as they're just holding together. Makes sense to me as I use too drive pass broken down hold ons on a daily basis in Brisbane from classic to present models.

I wasn't making any reference to technology. I wasn't even having a go at you. it was more a statement about how general motors has many sub brands in many different countries, and over the years have pulled certain ones out of certain places, but still badge engineer things. Yes ford do that too, but not to the same extent. Yes ford own a share in mazda so the bt50 is similar to a ranger in the most part, but gm pulled the Daewoo brand from Australia (for good reason) then what pops up? The holden Epica (2nd generation Daewoo leganza) and the un German barina (Daewoo khalos). Atleast the ford brand gets kept consistent. I'm not going to jump up and down claiming they are the best car ever made or anything, but atleast they haven't pulled stunts like (after the nissan n13 rebadge) the astra was an opel for many years, then opel popped up, no one bought them. I don't doubt the cars weren't bad at all, I'd probably prefer to drive an opel astra to a holden astra, but that's only because it sound imported, and it wouldn't happen because my criteria for a family car is large and sedan

I drove a Daewoo leganza for 7 years and it had the same motor and gearbox and I traded it in when it was 13 years old with 250k on the dial and it never crapped out. Unless yours was the 2.2, or v6. Mine was the c20.

Nice gift being so dam reliable I sold mine with 200 plus kms . And thrashed it most days doing at least 600 to 700 kms some weeks traveling to work roaming and driving out of town most weekends. Still ran like a charm. I'd buy another one if I seen one going cheap just as a run about

The sign at the top reads 2018 Holden Commodore details released, so this thread is about the 2018 Commodore.

Not for inane ramblings on whatever takes your fancy.

Atleast you won't have to close you're eyes and imagine an igsignia. Well that's the not not bacon, compared to bacon then it is what it is (not bacon is the vegan or vego replacement for the thing I can't deal without at 9 oclock in the morning) atleast there are people with kids small enough to fit into the back of a mustang. My son would annoy me having to get into the back of a coupe, but anyways. Atleast ford released a somewhat substitute before they pulled the pin on the go fast and family friendly cars, and had already cemented the mondeo.

AAAAAND Back on topic kids......when I saw the undisguised pics a GODDAMN! fell out of my mouth, that's a good looking sedan and wagon, as said earlier, it kinda looks like a Mazda 6 which I dig too.
My boss just traded his VE11 SS for VF SSV Redline today, he was never going to buy an Insignia no matter what the badge said......
