Figjam if Holden have shares in Wheels Magazine then Toyota/Lexus must have shares in Dog & Lemon Guide

Because whilst it may appear that every month there is a Holden on the front cover of Wheels.. It can be said that the only car that is yet to receive a negative review from Mr Clive Matthew Wilson wears a Toyota badge.

Thing is they are both publications which are intended to keep people up to date as to what is going on in the Auto Industry.. such as inform them about new cars and compare them to their rivals etc

It’s not Wheels fault that GM-Holden is one of the more high profile issues in the Auto Industry ATM.. Nor is it Wheels fault that [over the last cople of years] Toyota are yet to release a car of any real note or interest
one with leading edge technology let alone innovative features or design etc.. I mean where is the new Supra?

FigJam, the other part you neglect to remember about the starfire Corona is that the boy trims, interior, seats and suspension whilst when new “Looked” way more luxurious than the Australian offerings, they deteriorated at a much faster level. Faster even than a JB Camira. Fast forward to your next time line, again we see trims and interior and suspension components failing on the SV21′s, Pintara /Skyline’s and 929′s in at least the same time frame but generally quicker than the Ford and Holden offerings.
Oh and don’t make assumptions about who you talk to, I was selling SV21′s when released after having done my apprenticeship and 4 years on the spanners.

Figjam – My uncle would be happy that [unlike pmost people]you don;t think that the P-76 is the worst Aussie built car

Only the “REAL” Monaros [Coupes] would be collectables the others are either still being used as daily commuters or out on farms or….

As Frontman said Holdens build quality might not be as good as Toyota or Nissan Or Honda However; they can take alot more “punishment” [burnouts etc] than what your average Japanese Import can

“bm” shutting down any local manufacturing and fully importing all new cars into this country is not going to be any good for current or future jobs in this country and before you “rudely interrupted me” i said we need a local car industry in australia! now go get my slippers!

yes they did sell a lot of Q’S those were the days when holden commanded 30-35% market share,a lot has changed hasn’t it! and “minskip” most of the Q’s left would be put away as collectors?
