Re: Holden Dumps 2.0L Six, But Introduces Diesel & Six-Speed Auto With Epica Upgrade
A six speed auto is always a good thing and certainly looks good on the standard features list espicially next to the five speed equipped Camry, however it doesn't really look good against the V6 powered Commodores which come with either a four or five speed auto. I know the two vehicles won't often be shopped against each other, but when will holden learn - they had the same problem with the five speed Vectra when compared to the then four speed only Commodore.
While a diesel will help it still won't turn the Epica's lacklustre sales around. Then are they going to ditch this steaming pile of rubbish in favour of the Insignia?

Australia's number one selling car for a decade and a half. Don't ever let any one tell you GM don't know what they're doing with all that old school tech.
