Hi Everybody!

[auzvectra]

i think you miss the point, i know what you are saying, but these cars (most of them) actually are opel, they literally deliver them as opel/vauxhal spec and holden sticks their badges on instead, thus how you can order the car without the badges installed ( i inquired with holden ).
the nissan pulsar-holden astra
mazda 323-ford laser, are not identicle cars.
different tail lights, headlights, grills, interiors ect.....

Hi Stumpy.

as a note if i was the buy a XR4 witch is being considerd i would be rebadgeing it as a ST.

Holden and Ford Austraila have nothing do with the car besides sell them, changing them to the badges they were origanally intended. + plus it makes my car a little unique, how many ppl at work come up to me and go WTF is your car, its funny

[5tumpy]

It's actually an XR5 mate, the XR4 is only a rumour at this stage (it's said to be a turbo-charged Fiesta) and even then, I fail to see the point of rebadging it, it's sold and badged here as a holden, therefore it's a holden... It'd be like someone taking the holden badges off one of the new barinas and rebadging them as daewoos....

Well all to their own i guess, but re badging cars makes your car unique, something when i changed mine, so it didn't look the same as other cars!!! I guess you wouldn't know cos Fords are Fords everywhere, not rebadged anywhere, only models shared with Mazda, which then u can choose either!!! If ya don't get it then don't worry, most people here know what its all about!!!

By the way, welcome, hope your sister enjoys the new car!!!!

WTF are u on about the XR4 is due for release in July. I have seen the Info from the ford dealer, plus they had one at the Perth Moter Show. It is going to be mid $20's and is a NA with 110KW

[5tumpy]

Well I'll be damned, your right mate, my apologies. It's going to be a Fiesta with a tweaked Focus engine in it.


Sorry guys, my area of expertise is Falcons, wouldn't drive a wannabe go-kart if you paid me, but that's not the point....



Xplosv, mate I don't know where to begin there, there are more ways to make your car different than badging it as something it's not... My Falcon is unique, but I did it by actually enhancing the car, not by putting another car company's badges on it to make seem more upmarket...

[auzvectra]

but as most of us believe, taking the holden badges off is enhancing the car .
and then to make the car more euro, as it was attended (and to cover the holes left by the badges) we put the opel badges on.
also help to point out mejmbers, as 95% of the opelised cars are members .

[5tumpy]

Can't say I blame you though, if I was driving a holden, I'd be so ashamed of it, I'd be calling it anything but a Holden too! :P j/k guys...

I suspected that ausvectra... lol...

[5tumpy]

Just remember, What is right is not alway popular, and what is popular is not always right! :P
