New Holden Add - Calais V Better Than 5 Series Bmw

[Chooka]

Well last night I was watching a bit of the lost update so I remember what is happening when it comes back next week.

Anyway the add's come on and low and behold it's an add for the Expensive Daewoo Calais V that I have not seen before.

Anyone seen it?

Anywho, it basically goes on comparing the Calais V to a 5 series BMW!

It goes on about how wheels mag said the Calais steers better, drives better and is faster than the 5 and summerises that the Calais is the best car between the two and yet still I 100k cheaper!!

Can Expensive Daewoo really be serious??

Can Expensive Daewoo drivers/buyers really beleive this stuff?

A high series Expensive Daewoo with a V8 will out point, outbrake, outride and outrun a low end 5 series every day all day and by a wide margin.

What exactly is so special about the low end 5's BTW?

Well they are comparing a high series Calais to the BMW so it only fair to make that comparsion to a high series BMW..Unless they want to compare a low series Commdore to a low series BMW...?

The problem with all Australian cars is that they just cant do interiors. We can do fast and fun but we fail at making a place to sit in driving to work at 10kph. I sat in an Alfa Brera the other day and I think it must be the best looking car inside and out for under $100k. On the Holdens and Fords miss matching plastics seems to be the in thing.

A base Late model camira wouldn't even compare with a base 3 series. In that example, the prices aren't even that far apart.

Typical Holden, pull the wool over everyone's eyes, marketing.

D ick heads, and more fool those that beleive it.

Couldn't agree more re interiors and the materials used. But to be honest the 2 cars that were compared were 100K difference in price. How much are you willing to spend for a better interior and build quality? 100K? Good luck if you can afford that but I can't. Price aside you'd go the 550i but price counts big time.

As a value for money proposition the Calais stack up very well. What Holden's marketing machine don't mention is that this value for money comparison is valid for most locally built large cars.
