NO WAY!! the grill on that american one is hidiouse (however ya spell that??)

Today I'm driving a 2009 Pontiac wagon, which I think i\was built in Angelo's factory in California. It is very nice, drives good, handles well, no squeaks, very quiet. Could the upcoming Pontiac ute be this good?

Here in South Africa we have:

CHEVROLET LUMINA




And

CHEVROLET LUMINA SS UTE




Both are Australian imports.

I think Holden& Ford have lost the plot.I have a new G6 Falcon in the driveway. WHAT A DOG!
I get my new Aurion in February, Thank God! It is no contest,Toyota beats them both hands down. All they need is to put one in a sport wagon and we'll have a good allrounder. Another good car we sent to the States HE!HE!Remember the Capri soft top (Mercury) HE!HE! We send some crap over there

HOLDEN

Hope Our Luck Doesn't End Now


...and today they have a recall on airbags in, true sh*t, look up ninemsn.

holden's in general are crappity crap crap cars!

when driving you can barely see the front of the car & visiblity out of the rear windscreen should be improved you can barely see.

i have driven my cousins commonwhore twice b4 and that was only coz she had to drive her hubby's supercharged v8 hilux to get rego'd so i had to drive hers to bring the kids with her....

and i am glad she sold that, but now she has a sports wagon...they aren't too bad, but but still wouldnt own one...she is a die hard holden fan and i am A DATTO/FORD fan and we also srgue bout the cars but its all good. if the USA wanna buy our crappy holdens feel free..just means there will be less of them here!!

to any american who buys one.....have fun they are called HOLDen's for a reason..they barely hold together.

I've heard american-built cars are quite good in the year 2008.

We had a 1996 USA-built Subaru, it was nicely put together. Our 2006 Japan-built Subaru has some squeaks and leaks while the USA-built one had none.

i dont think there 2 bad i bought the sv6 ute and the old boy bought the ss ute and i think there great cause even though they have a new shape and all but they r still an old aussie ute u can tow anything and endless power im happy with it and bought it for a steal and they handle like a sports car and they can actually stop unlike most utes

alot of holdens cheaper stuff is made in korea astra verctra ect ect and soon to be the hole fleet ,

An interesting topic DD,it is really beginning to look like Detroit is going to die a long and slow death,draging the bulk of the world motor industry with it,Chrysler with it's enless recalls daily!!Ford and GM in all sorts and yet all the while paying production line staff $60.00 per hour effectivly.

Good work if you can get it(and keep it)no wonder they have turned to OZ for thier utes up until our end goes under,i foresee GM products coming out of India in the not too distant future....then we'll have something to bitch about!

Good work Detroit
