I also heard denny mooney on the radio today talking about his disappointment at the motoring fraternity for highlighting the fact that his small cars come from daewoo. Maybe he was planning a great deception or something. I bet the sales brochures read something like; "at holden, we build what the customer asks for" when it should read; "at holden, we could only get this, this is the way it is and nothing can change it because we had no input"
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Wouldnt the "Man S3X" be better equipped with a pink decor, vibrating seat and antique protector mats in the back?

The reason above is why I believe that the S3X will not do to much damage for Ford. |

If your S3X continually broke down, would that be BAD S3X? Could you call it a Lemon? What about a Dirty S3X? Or a rear-ended S3X? How would you go asking your dealer for S3X?

Doesn't MAN S3X just smack of that "queer as folk" feel? If one of my mates ever said he was going home to have man sex I think I would have to belt him in the head a few times. I seriously think this name is a new low. Many think sex sells, and it does, but bringing sex into everything like say a church, is just improper. I honestly believe calling a car other than a ferrari or an exotic marque like that sex is really stupid. Have a look at terios, "for women who like it on top". That car was a major flop. This car is likely to really hurt holden, as it is nothing special, it looks really plain, and they display it with 22 inch rims and 35 series tyres - real 4wd stuff. Especially since the true Holden fans don't want something from Korea, the only target I can see are the Surry Hills dwelling gentlemen who partake in "manlove", oh and they won't even have the towing capacity to haul the floats in the mardi gras; so they lost bulk customers there.

I wonder if they will sell a version in the US for cowboys. Heath Ledger would probably buy one.
