Hi Everyone,

I have a choice of the Holden International Edition or the Ford G6 Limited edition. Both have good and bad points. I was looking for some opinions tho please.

Many thanks
Doc

I think any article which mentions Ford or Holden should have comments disabled.. becauase it turns into a brainless dribble fest each and every time, without fail.

Some dweeb with half a brain – and I really do mean half a brain – is putting comments on here in other people’s names, because they don’t have the knowledge or the intelligence to put forth a counter comment that carries any weight.

See ya. Wooden wanna be ya. No more comments from me.

Can’t believe I just said that.

Anti-spam word “Mahindra” – that’s not a car, it’s a tuna can with a coal burner.

Well Berlina, Calais & SS-V lights all look good. Omega & SV6 are alright, but not the best. I agree, they are placed up to high & do look arkward. But apart from that, it looks good. All is needed is a facelift inside & out. Go HOLDEN!

There you go saying the “wheels” word and suddenly all credibility is lost.

I don’t think highly of either Ford or Holden but the 3L is a great thing for the Commodore.
Today I saw a 337 HSV and can’t help but wonder if the owner never got praise as a child. Perhaps he was rejected by the Advanced Medical Institute as beyond help.
I see an ownder of the new 3L commodore and think – not my choice but respectable no less.
Finally something to like about Holden – thankyou. Direct injection is overdue in all petrol engines.

How much gain do you want in addition to the 9.3, Andrew M? Any further gain would place it firmly in the realm of 4 cylinder cars, such as Mazda 6’s 8.7. It’s not a 2.5 litre 4 cyl, it’s a 3 litre 6 cyl.

Holding back technology is something that Holden and Ford have historically done very well, but it would be inexcusable in the current environment to continue offering the 4 speeder with a bigger engine simply on the grounds of it being less expensive. You could offer that argument with every gain Holden and Ford have made against each other in 50 years, and you would never be justified eschewing the new, ultimately.

Finally, look at last month’s sales of Commodore and Falcon. 3329 and 2449. Sheesh! What’s more, it’s typical. Maybe a smaller engine is just what’s needed. It’s not like we haven’t had them before. I reckon Holden might have cracked it, and it’s here now. Ecoboost isn’t.

Or if you just like the look and feel of a large good looking Aussie Sedan

They should have added the front fog lights as well.

or unless you are an adult…..

to get comfort and good ergonimics you really have to go to a vehicle of this size.

The ergonomics in smaller cars is poor.
you have to have your seat all the way back to get leg comfort, but then you have to lean out of your seat to reach the dash or even sometimes the gears

Or have kids or many other things that may require a bigger car.

Comfort is a major part of buying a car.

So many good cars for $35K… unless you need to tow or are obese there is no need to purchase one of these…
