Introducing the new HOLDEN EPICA

[one2have]

Actually I wouldn't have a problem with that if they were politicians.

Should remove the brakes altogether in that case hahahaha.

So, The first Epica arrived at work today and i had a chance to drive it.

First thing i noticed was its nose heavy feel. Then how very smooth and refined the drive was. The angine transmission combo is quiet nice. A little slow on take off but once it builds steam its quiet surprising. Steered quiet niceley, and nice feel to the steering. The suspension is quiet soft, and im sure this car will attract to its target market of Camry buyers ie people waiting to die and people who just don't care.

Ok, so we registered the Epica today. I've left the SRiT at work and bought the Epica home for the nite. After going for a bit of a drive I've grown to like it more than in my very first drive. Obviously driving it a longer distance is better than just around the block.

Will post more observations later.

I think it looks alot like the Honda Accord - the wheels look far too small for the arches...and as some one mentioned above (a few pages) the Beemer head lights.....Jury is still out.......

[Greggy]

Or is it just me..........(the accord / Epica similarity) ??

I've sold 2 already, and we've only had it since Friday.

Looks ok, but doesn't excite me as much as this:

Absolutely....I have looked at the Epica and there is no way I am parting with my CDXi for one of those. Holden have just forced me to look for another brand...

[Greggy]

Its just you...

.......just me it is then..

Sounds like they are going to sell quite well then.....

I drove both Epica models at Lang Lang last year and once again... not for me. Its quiet and has a 'supple' ride, but it's a step down. Like all the rest of these new imports, it seems to be MORE what the majority want.
