oh What A Feeling, you are so full of shit mate, since when can a car that has only 241 kilowatts and 400nm of torque do a quarter in 13.6 when the current FG xr6 pull a 0-100 time in 5.1 secs and do the quarter in 13.3 when it has 270 kilowatts and 533 nm of torque. You really are a F#*#en toss bag. Have a look at power to weight moron and you’ll realise your a dick.

Grow up and give real life performance times instead of blowing up your horse and donkey company toyota..

as much as i hate to admit it i think ford has gone the right way with a high performance 6cyl like the trd aurion where are you going to find a high performance 4 door passenger car that will do a 13sec qtr mile (aurion 13.6 offical) and still get up to 35mpg highway driving! no v8 will ever do that!$2.00 a litre will be here before the end of 2008 what will it be in 2009! hsv will need to totally revalue it’s current situation when there v8 sales die!

cant wait for the next chapter of hsv a “daewoo viva” or maybe a “hsv barina” now that would appeal to drivers! NOT!!!! because no one will be buying v8′s when fuel hits $2.00 a litre.

So does this mean that BMW, Merc and Audi are not as good as Toyota because they dont have a 27% market share?
Methinks not!
Market share doesnt necessarily mean better. Please take your Beer-googles off and wake up to reality.
If Toyota made the best cars in the world, there would be no other manufacturers. Ford and Holden have built their reputaion in Australia on cars that appeal to drivers. Toyota built their reputation on QDR (Quality, durability, reliability) which tends to appeal more to consumers. Since the advent of the internet and the spread of consumerism as a culture, Toyota have come forward in market share. Simple as that!
