lol you pay 40,000+ for one of these slugs and you geta 5% Australian car, that's maeketed as the 100% Australian... hahahhahahahahahahahahah
This is the ONLY car in Australia that has been designed from the ground up FOR Australia by Australians........they arent using an overseas platform and then modifying it to try and suit as best it can..............oh no this is a total 100% Aussie design/engineered for us.
Yes they have used an increased number of overseas sourced components.........but you see the car market is so very competive with cheap asian manufacturers offering cars a very low prices that for holden to keep any sort of manufacturing base going here they have to import cheapoer parts just to stay alive.
At least they havent given up completely and gone off shore totaly...they have invested heAVILY with this car and its success means hundreds of thousands of JOBS for aussies.
The public demand cheaper and cheaper cars the REAL price of a new car has actually decreased over the last 10 years ....
You complain because Holden use OS components but the alternative is to use local parts yes thats great but the price of your average commodore would be $55000.00 instead of $40000.0 in turn NO one would buy them ...Holden goes broke and hundreds of thousands of workers suffer ... WD WD !!
I drove one of those.. Disko... then i got into an Audi... u need to do the same, then you will understand
Mate I used to work for BMW FFS I have driven the VERY BEST cars in the world as my company car every day and NOT just on a one off chaufer job. I know what a great car should AND shouldnt do beleive me.
Do you know what 50 ish grand buys you at BMW ffs A 1 series if you are lucky !! Thats a 2 litre 110kw buz box hatch.....
To get something that more closely compares to the SSV you would need to look at a 550i
Cylinders: V8
Capacity: 4,799 cc
Maximum Power: 270 kW / 367 bhp / 6300 rpm
Maximum Torque: 490 Nm
and you would pay 163000.000 plus on road costs......approx $185000.000 on the road..........thats only a lazy $126000.00 differance to the SSV ....
recently we went crabbing and had to drive down some roads with no speed limit so dad was seeing how fast we could go... think we got up to about 190ks wOOt
