New car buying - Which one?
« on: December 30, 2002, 05:37:50 AM »
Mum and dad are considering buying a new car. Which one would you go for? All are priced very similar ($AU 40-45).

1). Ford XR6 Turbo




240KW Turbo sedan, nice looking, comes in some pretty sweet colours. 0-100k in 6.2 seconds, whips a WRX\'s butt and comfortably fits 5 people... twin air bags, tiptronic trans.

2). Holden SS




V8, 235KW NA sedan, again, comes in some wicked colours. Does times similar to the XR6, heavier though, has a much nicer interior package. Looks a bit more \'boy racer\' to me which could be a good thing or a bad thing.

I like the XR6 but then it would be nice to have a V8, though I\'d also like to have a turbo...

I would get the Holden SS... say, you why not get a V8 Interceptor like Mel Gibson had in Mad Max?  Wasn\'t that a Ford Falcon?

Yes, that was a Ford, there is a new GT Falcon Coupe coming out 2003. Looks WICKED but heavily priced. Gives a 911 a run for its money.

i really dont like what holden did to the SS, they should\'ve left the tail pipes the same as they were in the 2002 models, more over those alloys r ghey, even worse r those damn tail lights.

who the hell did holden hire to do the cars design ( a ricer perhaps).

but even then out of the 2 u\'d be better off with the SS than that ford.
Also have u considered the Monaro, man that car looks sweet.

the car is called "Holden SS"/Commodore, whereas over here where i live its called the "Lumina SS".

or if by brand u mean manufacturer then the company\'s name is Holden, its a subdivision of GM motors.

But cars use to have a brand. When you say I\'ve bought a Scort, you bought a FORD SCORT. I\'m asking for the main brand of that car... because I never saw that brand symbol.

EDIT: ah ok, you edited the post or I didn\'t see the second part ;)

Hey, I don\'t know if anyone mentioned this yet, but both those cars look like the Mustang!  :)

BTW, don\'t buy a Ford S-Cort.  :)  Fix or repair daily.  :D

Mustangs are Gay.
Bozco is Gay.
Therefore, Bozco must be a Mustang.
