Default Ford v Holden tv show?

Evening all, saw a commercial on ch9 late monday night advertising 'Ford v Holden' from memory for october 23 but not 100% sure the exact date. No images of cars were shown just the writting on the screen, anyone know anymore on this?

It's some "The big questions answered" show i'm pretty sure. Most likely it won't be very interesting at all.

Doesn't look very interesting, think they're clutching at straws for shows at the moment.

That looks ummm (im trying to think of a word without being rude or swearing) :thebirds:

It looks about as exciting as the coin I bought at the local deli when I was about 12 (Its called the great debate settler) It has Holden on one side Ford on other.

It's probably something paid for by Holden showing the VE is better than the BFII, with some nob-head showing us why.

I have certainly seen at least 2 of these shows dedicated to the VE wouldn't surprise me if this was another one.

Edit: If you read the web site Ford v Holden is just one very small part of it

Whoever gives channel nine the most advertising dollars will be shown as the best car. I suspect that will be Holden.

It'll probably have the same guys that did that DRIVE test and said the VE won by default due to a rock putting a hole in the transmission.

It'll be one-sided anyway.
