Introducing the new HOLDEN EPICA

[Shaun]

Have you guys seen the TV ad for the epidemic?
hilarious!!
"Effortless performance" and "The power of a Holden"..

hahahhahahhahhahhaha...omg if that isnt false advertising, then i dont know what is..

No because the Engines are Assembled in Australia then Shipped over to Keora and fitted to the cars.

Actually shaun, only the Barina and Viva engines are made in Australia.

Doesn't the Epica use a lower capacity version of the HFV6 or whatever its called. Same as whats in the commonwhore.

back in 2005, i was in the phillipines, i went to the showroom to get some opel badges.
that car wasthere branded a chevy.
i took some photos and examined them when i gotback here in oz.revelations were:
daewoo engines,v6 and 4 cyl.

what are we buying lately????????
out of date cars that are assembled or made from tin?????/
how long do they last??????/
i still have my JR vectra , everyone ,mechanics and panel shops call them shit boxes.. but the durability is so great.

the only reason they call them shit boxes is because none of these so called technicians annd panel beaters know anything about european cars.
they are all used to asian crap.

when i was working in a holden dealership in sydney, there was a technician who came from singapore. give him a commodore and he gets nowhere.
give him any of the opels ,barina, astra, vectra and calibra ..... he breezes through them like nothing.......

i wish i could see him again..... he was underpaid for his qualifications so he left

Epica is a straight 6 design, so no has absolutely nothing to do with the HFV6/Alloytec engine. If it did, I'd say it would put out more than 110 kw or whatever it does....

Followed an Epica yesterday, I must say that visually it's not quite there - got a fairly uninspirational tail
