Too Right Realist!!

Bloody whingenut got his knickers in a knot again!!
Whingenut, funny judging from your comments, the stereotypical generalizations of a car detailer originally from Adelaide, are correct!!
Do you also sport a Mullet?? And are Winfields your cigarettes?

The Realist is the MOST UPRODUCTIVE PERSON since hes always on here bagging australian Industry.

“Per capita” those employed in education are the laziest least productive overpaid people in the country.

“The Realist very rarely makes a comment to do with the car which the article is about.. come to think of it he very rarely makes a comment to do with cars at all”

I actually do – but of course people like you think productivity and efficiency have nothing to do with automotive manufacturing. Just put the hand out and ask tax payers to cough it up, that’s your method of running a business.

“Comments that wouldn’t be tolerated on a number of other auto-blog sites”

They wouldn’t be tolerated on Holden sites that’s for sure. I’ve been to LS1 and seen the drivel posted on those forums.

“Actually I don’t think that BM has been anywhere as racist as you ARE Realist. Your anti-Australian rants are pathetically monotonous.”

Strange how when someone tells it like it is they become un-Australian. Yet to date no one has answered my questions on why our wages are so high and our productivity so low. Can you?

Perhaps you could tell me why the average Chinese international student contributes more to our economy than automotive manufacturing on a per capita basis?

But you probably can’t, which is fine. Most McDonalds fuelled Aussies like yourself can’t.

Wheelnut, the article you referenced was September 2009, hardly ‘a month’ after the car was released. The upgrade has only one mechanical change, the diff, with the remainder being cosmetic and functionality differences, pretty standard for a year on year upgrade.

Also using your logic, when BMW released the M3 CSL a while ago and the current light weight version they are considering now, these are the M3′s they should have originally released as well. Is that right?

The Realist very rarely makes a comment to do with the car which the article is about.. come to think of it he very rarely makes a comment to do with cars at all
He [like Tomas] prefers to do nothing but make assumptions and stereotypical genralisations about people.

Thankyou Aussie……….my comments in the past have been aimed at dishonest factory managers in business.Like it or not Realist ,its not aimed at the Chinese people in general. Just my dealings with FACTORY MANAGERS in China over 9 years .

Not sure what any of that has to do with BMWs though ??

Still it’s OK for you to slag someone else ’cause you just soooo perfect.

Hypocracy is my biggest pet hate, welcome to the list.

Steve H.. hve alook at this

http://www.caradvice.com.au/42741/lexus-is-f-upgraded-whats-the-diff/

They made several changes/improvements to the car; inside and out which you would have thought being [supposedly] the worlds biggest best and wealthiest car manufacturer they would have included on the original..

They also came out with a lightweight “Evolution” model with a range of improvements etc to try and beat [or more accurately; close the gap] to the M3

Again; If the AS-IF was meant to be a [supposed] M3 killer – they would have made the car like the evolution to begin with – or released it at the same time as the original

By releasing upgraded models so soon after a release it makes it lok like the first model is inferior or there is something wrong with it
