Introducing the new HOLDEN EPICA

[one2have]

What's wrong with a 2.0L straight six. The Lexus IS200 is a 2.0L six. It might not set the world on fire with power but it's smooth as and likes to rev.

BTW the Tosca/Epica isn't such a bad looking thing

I guess I should find out a little more about the engine specs before I dis it. The IS200 is a great looking car, but is gutless in a straightline (add s/charger and its a different story).

Regrading the looks of this Camroo, doesn't tickle my fancy in the slightest. Horses for courses I guess..

It's on the agenda if I can convince the wife...

Do it man..

There are quite a few going around - there may even be a factory Supercharger kit available locally.

What an ugly piece of s***.

Sure as hell wouldn't want one of those in my driveway unless it was given to me.

These awful cars completely vindicate my decision to buy an XC Barina before they switched to the GMDAT version (TK Series). I honestly doubt the Epica will be any better.

Look like Holden is being dragged down by head office in Detroit again, giving us rubbish cars instead of quality. When will GM learn? Or will they have to go broke to figure it out?

The average consumer won't care anyway, but their reputation will linger much longer and be much harder to repair.

This car will be nothing like the TK Barina or JF Viva

They are both Daewoo Motor Corporation cars ie CRAP

The new Epica and CAPTIVA are both designed under GMDAT management and will be much better than anything the old daewoo ever did

[MatsHolden]

Exactly Black AH CDX. GMDAT is a completely revamped unit. Cars such as the Epica and Captiva will be much better quality than the current Daewoo vehicles.

[bill142]

The design might be better, but will the build quality.

[cyclonic]

Exactly my point. The design may be better, but the materials and overall build quality will be well below par. In that sense, its a step backwards. Doesn't matter how good the car is.

Its upsetting, but on the other hand, we don't have to buy the car do we?

[one2have]

Build Quality aside.

It looks awful - Kinda like a confused pregnant seal. No offence to any seals out there.

[RapidSRi]

Less sexy than a Lexus, more sexy than a Camry though, which is what is looks like from the corner of your eye.

The Chev version is much meaner looking though
