Holden - Go Better....

[r32line]

Anyone seen the new ad for Holden (the brand in general) which says that Holden's "go better" than any other car on the road...

Who the f**k are they kidding? Most of the new range is FOB from Korea (Daewoo)

What a joke!

their old "drive on" tag line wasnt half bad, tag line the last few years has been stupid, this included.

It's just typical marketing to get you to test a car so that the sales people can then try and sell it to you.

[daisu]

Well they realise that the better cars are coming from overseas, they just haven't figured out which country makes the good cars yet.

[Mayuri Krab]

Well, ads are never accurate...

[mesmerized]

i remember recently the captiva ad said 'it's 30% better than a ford territory'.......didn't say why though

[Krishy]

hahaha ^^^ so true mate....a lot of people are buying the imports and stuff so holden is loosing their share of the customers....hence they are trying to do what ever they can to get the customers back

[FATAZZ]

haha i remember my mate bought a brand new 6cyl crapodore(the model after VT) and it didnt even have power windows.

Lame

Thats spot on, theyre not gonna say dont buy our cars because they are shit, now are they?...

I have worked with 2 guys who both owned VX - VY SS Commodores.Both of these guys were currently on there 3rd engine under warranty..oil pump failures,excessive blow by, excessive oil usage..I hope they have sorted these problems out with the ls2...

The ad shits me as well, they make a few big statements about drivers and their cars, I wonder if you picked up a holden and were not totally satisfied with it you could get them for false advertising, because they lay claim to alot of stuff in that ad.

[Krishy]

LOL group buys on commodores and then return the whole group shall sue commodore for false advertising!!! hahaha

I think they were talking about fuel economy...

They claimed it was a percentage better in terms of fuel economy. You read the super-fine print and it compares a diesel captiva against a petrol territory. Yeah, real fair!

[fuzzy_scuz]

So if I buy a commodore and get totally beaten by a Hyandai excel, Can I then sue GM for false advertising?

[Krishy]

well i guess so as that can come under false advertising....but then again a Hyunday Excel with shitload of stickers, bonnet scoop and a fully hectick kit can destroy any car lol.......the stickers give those Korean cars more powa!!!!

Not to mention the Captiva is made in Korea and a full size smaller than Territory.
