Myke – unlike Holden with thier new found love of Daewoo vehicles like the 2 star crash rated Barina, Viva and the Epica that is actually considerably slower then a Camry 4 potter. And lets not forget the renouned reputation that HSV has for premature brake fade and over-heating fluids when pushed hard. Lets not forget also the GEN3 with it’s awful reputation of drinking oil like beer, slapping pistons and in some occurances complete engine failure.

You may recall ‘MOTOR’ January 2007 performance car shot-out edition of 20 vehciles were HSV dropped out at a pathetic 18th because of premature brake fade after just 1 single lap… JUST 1 LAP. The only passion that ignites is the will to stay alive !!

And, name me a Holden that can actually age with GRACE and DIGNITY beyond a couple of years from new. Holden’s are nothing more then just rattly, squeeky, oil leaking, unreliable vehicles that literally fall apart.

What about that recent leaked Australian Quality Survey were Holden scored ‘BELOW AVERAGE’ in every single segment and in some areas dead set last.
Somehow… that just does not ignite any passion for me.

Honda however knows how to engineer a damn good vehicle just like Toyota that isn’t dependant on the local garage.

Honda already has quality, reliablity, dependablity and durablity, but Honda expanding their production, I’m sure (hopefully) they won’t compromise the driving appeal of their cars.

Sorry Alborz – as you probably already understand i don’t have much respect for GM/Holden although i do have a weak spot for Ford and hope they recoup thier lost fortunes over the next couple of years as to maintain thier viability in Australia. If Holden was in a hole however then i truely wouldn’t care.

However, the growth of such excellant companies like Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Subaru, VW is very much understandable and i would certainly understand if Hyundai grew at a greater pace aswell.

There was no anger just me have a chuckle to myself as i enjoy a nice cold beer after a hard slog at work.

Cheers

Why Myke – because Toyota is screwing GM and Ford to the wall and your pride is taking a battering. Toyota manufactuers quality, reliable, dependable and durable vehicles unlike alot of the garbage that comes from GM.

Honda is a very renouned and respected automotive company and because they take pride in thier engineering and quality control, they rightly deserve to expand unlike that trashy American company… GM !!

I hope Honda don’t mass produce to much and become exactly like Toyota, that would be scary.
