Yeah - come to the ‘Berra! Free accommodation!

I get Ferrari is Ferrari and most Ferraris are desirable - but how come the crazy upkeep costs don’t affect depreciation more? Is it because some buyers have deep pockets and don’t care, or others are wilfully ignorant about the financial pain they’re in for and they just want a Ferrari so badly?

CP. The seller would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids.

Nice design. Roofline reminds me of the Stinger concept.

I’m more than OK with this.

What a silly car.

Totally would have worked. ŠKODA and VW offer the same platforms, sure, but they are different propositions altogether. The two brands sell happily alongside one another here in OZ and we’re a tiny market in comparison. I just upgraded from a MK VI GTI to an Octavia RS wagon. Fucking love it.

So would I drive a splooge mobile?

Godzirra!

Dumbest decision ever by Holden to keep the Commodore name and give it to this thing.

I saw one of these in country Victoria (Aus) earlier in the month. Thought it was a custom. V cool.

Here’s a picture of a baboon’s butt. Are you happy now?

Can of sardines

It’s easy to shoehorn hundreds of kW of low-tech V8 power into a sedan. I’m talking about the complete package. Design, dynamics and refinement. Chalk and cheese, mate.

You’re joking right? No GM car is on par with an M5.

Haven’t owned a local as a daily driver for many years. Will probably buy another (now second hand) ute in the future. Not sure how I feel about this “truck” business.

People loosing their jobs is shit. No doubt about it. But why should tax payers subsidise an industry that fails to innovate and then have to pay a higher price for every car that is sold in the country? Holden (GM) and Ford have failed their workers and consumers. We have the technical expertise to design and deliver

Ripped off because if I/we also want to drive anything imported we’re slugged with a range of taxes and trade tariffs.

Bring back the 500 homologation days, I say. Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.
