gREAT car, not many on the road, autobox crap and weak, but only slightly chipped to 445bhp

fast enough…total posers car…but cant see the sense in the LS3 with some sticky strips…however i;ll go to the paint shop and for about 200 quid get strips put on mine..

thanx aussie for a blindin car though…ps, get a parking sensor fitted to the front..it works great interfering with police lidar 20/20 speed guns

Can you also get the bathurst and Vaxhaul badges from Walkinshaw? No… thought so!!

So it ain’t the same..

Its in the subtle ommisions of information and quotes such as “In a move that will no doubt cause some controversy here in Australia” and “it’s difficult to understand why Australians weren’t offered a similar package” the writer is quite clearly trying to get an emotive based response to this article.

Look back over the many articles in car advice, the articles that get the most comments are negative news stories against Holden, Ford and Toyota. The more comments the more people coming back again and again to view the site… advertising.

I agree there is no particular brand bias at Car Advice, they are just clever, they know how to get hits, that is 100% what this article was designed to do, Car Advice i’m quite sure won’t deny this. If you read my original post, I had no particular gripe with the article, I just wanted to point out that you can get a car of this exact specification in Australia, which is true whether its an officially sanctioned product or not. I only got “heated” when George danced his way around the subject as much as possible rather then just accepting yes you can get the car here, and yes you CAN ORDER ONE THROUGH A HSV DEALER! If George didn’t jump up and down trying to defend what is basically a minor point anyway, there would have been no argument. All he had to say was “You can get a car exactly like this in Australia, just it isn’t covered by HSV’s full factory warranty”. Instead he decided to go on and on and on and on about through the comments which really made himself look distinctly unprofessional if nothing else. Also plain wrong, he said Walkinshaw has a “stake” in both companies but nothing more, which is completely wrong because Walkinshaw’s holding company owns both brands entirely. They are as much the same entitiy as Big W and Woolworths, Coles and Kmart, etc

Again, how naive do you want to be?

The fact you keep on about this stupid idea you have got yourself fixated on makes me wonder you need help.

Even in the face of numerous people disagreeing with you, you still can’t accept you’re just plain wrong.

CA and George for that matter, have shown NO brand bias that I have seen, nor was it even remotely evident in this article that he was trying to create “Drama” as you put it.

Time to grow up now and move on…

Also theres no need to be a wanker and pick up on a minor typo and be all sarcastic about it, i mean really you just made yourself look a lot more stupid then my typo made me…

would you like to tell the audience which particular hdt commodore’s YOU THINK are ugly??? maybe you have a bit of anti holden/hsv about you after all…

If you don’t agree with what CA’s written, don’t come to the site. Actually it might be easier if CA just doesn’t review holdens. Then all the Cubs would be putting in their two cents all the time and trying to justify why anyone would spend good money on a glorified commodore.
