DaveO Member 250 Member For: 21y 1m 28d Location: City Posted 02/09/06 09:30 AM Share Posted 02/09/06 09:30 AM Couldn't believe how biased and rubbish this video is... Out of the 2 cars that you hear taking off in the beginning the xr8 is clearly audible over the Bogan special yet the guy keeps commenting on how much better the Bogan special sounds. He also said the Bogan special interior is far superiour to the XR8s. Maybe in the xr8s standard trim without any options it is a bit more upmarket but the red dash is a SHOCKER!! Also noticed when the guy said the XR8 was in trouble and pulling off the road they showed a Fairmont Ghia as a substitute pulling off the road. They somehow slanted the story trying to show the Ford falling to pieces on the side of the road and the commo as the victor.Vid Link: XR8 vs Bogan special Drive Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me the XR8 over that anyday. Also noticed that they used a fairmont as well pulling over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newl Guests Posted 02/09/06 10:50 AM Share Posted 02/09/06 10:50 AM What a waste of time it was watching that "review". There was no "review" at all. The bias for the Expensive Daewoo vehicle was as clear as can be with zero factual data with regards to the XR8 aside from the possible transmission issue.The comments about the interiors was also rubbish because he was erm..comparing? a new model vehicle with a BA which if memory serves was released originally when, in '02? Dated? Not entirely when one is comparing apples that were just picked off the tree with the ones that've been laying on the ground for awhile.feh!

Posted 02/09/06 12:03 PM Share Posted 02/09/06 12:03 PM Drove a VE Bogan special last weekend - and still can't get over the size of the A Pillar. It obliterates about 20 degrees of the forward right vision area. It's masssive. Expect to see plenty of VE's in front on blind spot accidents. Funny how important things like this miss reports like the clip mentioned here.....ps - I'm sticking with the Turb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
