Well, he certainly liked it. Not many comments about the engine, which you can only assess as a good thing.

I sat in them at the Motor Show.

FAR smaller than I had imagined, but I would still love to own one.

It is the Base Holden engine and soon the base Holden will have DI as well. All of Holdens upmarket products including HSV have a lot better engines.

Well he saw it coming from a pretty low base" I expected everything to be falling apart". Still he was not that happy about the handling, brakes and seats.

It's more the wanksperts that call themselves motoring journalist that condemn it in all variants.
We don't like this base model with 4 speed auto - comparing it to the higher powered V6 with 5 speed auto. But fools jurnos just seem to have a hate for the alloytech engines.



Price wise, Considering our poor dollar??..

It has to sit away from Holden's offering at yet be lower then the cars it targets.
