    Yep no One buying the politically correct Trendy hair do BS in 2018.

    Both Holden and Ford need to look after customers with a high level of service, actual pay dealers for warranty work (instead of short changing them on time that only a highly skilled magician could do)
    Otherwise all the re-launch and marketing BS along with waste of money will fall flat.

    Australians have had the "experience" so the old American Shiny mudguard on top ($hit underneath) won't convince customers unless they truly change.
    Holden & Ford are chronic cases requiring change / but the American or Singapore control of Holden will slow them down in our part of the world along with the corporate will.

    You never driven one have you? Take the knuckle dragging mentality out of the equation for a minute you would see they are a good thing, yeah no V8 I get it but really I wouldn’t discount them.

    get your facts right before throwing a comment up like that which is plain wrong .....



    My R8 Clubbie HAD slippery shitty Contis on it from new (it does not now)
    and
    yes I have had a Stinger for a weekend and the Contis on that were still shit!

    My opinion... yes but based on experience. So putting Contis on a police car
    which could be involved with pursuits is 'brave'.

    Yeah, was pretty obvious to me that he was referring to the tyre's that are factory fitted to the Stinger.

    It won't make any difference to the QLD Police... they aren't allowed to pursue anything these days so unless they are dangerous at posted speed limit speeds they're unlikely to cause any problems.

    Seeing some once large, long established, Holden dealerships around town sitting abandoned like old ghost towns.

    I drove past Plaza Holden yesterday, they were a Halal dealer for 5 minutes now it's empty & deserted.

    Claridge Holden is now a Mercedes Benz dealership,

    Metro Holden is now only a used car outlet.

    Gilbert Holden is now Toyota.

    Such a shame to see them all gone.
