They may be put together here but they arent Australian.$20 an hour against $20 a week we have NO chance of competing.Another is steel which will cost a local company more than a foreign country that can buy from our shores with goverment subsidies landed on there soil cheaper.

They are just an artistic rendition showing much squarer lines, etc.They will have european flavour, no doubt......this was brought in during the VY/VZ models. But Expensive Daewoo havent made too many ugly cars in recent years, I dont believe they will start now, they know what the market demands.

Posted 11/04/06 06:22 AM Share Posted 11/04/06 06:22 AM I dislike the look of the utes, as they look like those old subi utes , the lines are way to soft, and considering that utes are suppose to look tough it looks way to girly to me (sorry to the girls who drive utes out there, not trying to start a fight)I don't mind the look of the sedan itself but it doesn't scream out to me "I am a Holden", I could easily imagine a Honda badge on the front...I guess I'll take one for a test drive next year when it comes time to look for a replacement car for me (How can I truely say Fords are the better cars if I don't drive a red team car once in a while), but I'm in no hurry at this stage to see what it is like.
