    http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/Ar...eID=54592&vf=2

    Ok so the Barina was second last, but who is surprised?:clap:

    I'm over reading about how bad these cars are

    Is all this constant negative publicity about these cars something they're worried about?

    Apparently not, if you believe the PR stuff currently being spun:

    Despite dominant opposition from Toyota, Holden Executive Director Sales, Marketing and After Sales, Alan Batey, says the local hero brand could sell more small cars -- if they could get them.

    "I think we've been around long enough to know that things change... Things turn. We're actually very pleased with where we are -- we've got a lot of activity now in the second half of the year, so I think you're going to see us come back somewhat.

    "Yes, no question [we have bigger aims]. We've always been very honest to say that in buying GM Daewoo, the number one objective was to get the company back up??, get the volumes [back up], so it was always planned that way.

    in other words.

    we are cheap asses. we will sell you cheap nasty shit. because we are too stupid to realise the blatant quality difference between our Euro and Korean cars.

    I really do hope those boffins deep in Holdens executive & planning offices are feeling a bit embarrassed about this.

    Yet again the mass market & media have once again shown that the Korean cars Holden so lovingly sells & promotes have been proven AGAIN to be nothing more than tin cans in every sense of the words.

    I'll say it again, Holden, the Korean Australian car company.

    Apparently not
    I think obviously not !

    As per other thread, GMH are going to extend Daewoos across the entire range bar the Commodore...

    Hell they may even have plans to replace the Commodore with a Daewoo - The Epica's bigger brother will do just fine LOL...
