    HSV vs FPV - The websites...

    I assume someone (?) at Holden/HSV reads this site...

    Do yourself a favour and go to fpv.com.au

    That site is informative, well presented and professional.

    The HSV site is nothing less than crap in comparision.

    FPV(.com.au) 10/10
    HSV(.com.au) 2/10 (being nice...)

    Is it just me ?

    Yeah the FPV website is nicer to the eye than the HSV's.

    But I rarely visit either.

    Re: HSV vs FPV - The websites...

    I wouldn't give the FPV one a 10/10…. But I agree that the FPV site is miles ahead of HSV's effort, and I don't think anyone here is going to challenge that. So this thread prob could finish right here

    PS Even though FPVs site kills HSVs, I still have no desire to own a Ford

    Maybe Ford should put more effort into their cars then.

    I dont think you are too far off the mark.

    Although I would think the F6 has all covered, but certainly the so called BOSS could do with a overhaul.

    FPV's site maybe better but there is still room for improvement, i.e certain options that are not listed when configuring a vehicle, have to go through the "choose a model" menu evrytime you want to look at something specific.


    Having said that, the demo Typhoon I bought still came with the gift pack from FPV which surprised me........leather binder, fuel card, FPV Luggage and track day @ Oran Park.
    Fpv are in my good books at the moment.

    Re: HSV vs FPV - The websites...

    I just went to FPV.com.au fpr the first time ever , and wow, it leaves HSV site for dead..

    Unfortunately a lot of poeple will judge HSV by their website rather than their cars..

    There's that "If they can't even manage to make a half decent website how the hell are they going to make a car.?" metality about...

    A website is often the first place people go when looking for information on a product.

    I agree, FPV site is miles ahead of the HSV site. I don't get it tho, HSV make such nice cars, wouldn't you think one of the fun parts is to show the cars off in all their glory, not put people off with a lame arse attempt at a website?

    Ok then maybe I was gushing a bit much but it is still a good 9/10. I have seen schoolkids knock up better efforts than the HSV one. If it wasn't for the new cars, you would think it was 10 years old...

    Looking at the websites, anyone would get the impression FPV is a much more professional operation. Whether that is the case is irrelevent but HSV deserves much better than the image one gets after a casual visit...

    Most likely after driving a new HSV the website wouldn't matter at all.

    I havent test drove a new E series yet.

    You would think that with the arrival of the E series they would have scrapped the current site and put up a newy to coincide with the new car launch. Hopefully they plan on giving it a rebirth soon.

    HSV: Your website does not to your products justice? Are your products cheap and tacky looking and hard to use? If the answer is no sack your web developer and start again. Websites are a first port of call for many customers and a major sales tool in this day and age!

    Cheers
