This is a fancy Holden/Chev Cruze,and wont stand a chance against the Lexus IS/Acura TSX/Accord Euro.

Maybe, but their direct competior, the Buick Regal, would give them a run for their money.

Bangel

When more vehicles are allowed in the ‘V8′ races, then we will see results (rather than opinions!)
Bangel
Dougie V8 RACERS have no relationship to standard cars , yes open it up to the euro V8’S then we will see some entertainment not this boring rubbish , euros will blow them away .
Thankfully it will be gone by 2015 when the falcoon dies , man it will be fun watching crummer vs crummer .

hey Bangel, go look up the Top Gear Power lap times, the Maloo beats the W12 Golf, the Monaro beats the R32 Golf, the VXR8 in the wet beats the Golf Gti in the dry by 2.4 seconds! what are you driving? a fwd gti? That ad where the golf driver gives the RAC driver a lift must give you wet dreams

toxic_horse/Bangel is having a bit of fun at our expense.He knows the Crummer would kill THE GOLF around the track.

This is sooo tedious…
Just a bunch of 10 year olds saying, “My Commodore is faster than your Golf”, followed by some other 10 years olds saying, “No! My Golf is faster than you Commodore”. Then the first lot resort to using V8 Supercars as an example (anyone over the age of 11 knows that they have nothing to do with the road-going versions).
Honestly guys, make your own forum with Aussie V8s vs. Euro hot-hatches. Then you can argue it out 24/7 instead of ruining this site.

Awesome nickdl, just awesome!! The comments on this site would halve, but the quality of comments would improve 100%.
Why is it, that no matter what topic or brand of car is on Car Advice, the same “crew” argue and bicker about commodores and Golfs??? Can’t they read or something, like this is a Buick article about ponytails……..Uh Oh,…I see, sorry, Bogans ponytails. Yeah, that pulled them in!!

This is based on the Opel Astra (basically a sedan version, solely for the US-market); so, since we’ll be getting the Astra here under the Opel brand in the next couple of years – hopefully as soon as possible – us Aussies will be able to experience that nice looking interior, not to mention the chassis

The head rests look totally normal. Is it April 1?

Those seats are sexy, I don’t have pony tail

I used to have Buick Park Avenue when I was overseas, was an excellent car. Smooth, large and had lots of features for its time.
Only thing was if something goes wrong the costs was crazy!

Is that because you need a stylist to look at it???

Answering the authors question – 2009-2011 Subaru Foresters have a weird headrest that forces your head forward and makes it hard to sit comfortably
http://www.nsmg.com.au Wil-son
Its actually anti-whiplash headrestraints that are designed to be closer for less travel backwards. That said, when I worked for Subaru, 1 in 3 people complained about the “headrests”, mainly women. But this could be aleviated by positioning the backrest back one step and guaranteed that they found it ok.
Still, you knew it was coming and I did loose several sales because of it.
