Seems hardly worth the effort lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you can just buy some "tokens" so you don't have to talk to him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could hold out a bit longer for the Corvette Just cant get on the mustang bandwagon either and boy I’ve tried to no avail and no matter how far they’re modified crash test ratings are always a weird thing to understand but when you breakdown the categories it’s clearer that a 36/36 isn’t always achievable for the like of simple things within the vehicle our new Prado missed a clear point due to the seatbelt warning device would cancel out after 2 minuets and STFU unlike most cars will beep on until the end of time pedestrian safety comes into it as well ...... yeh I’m not buying a car to keep pedestrians safe unfortunately and keeping the people in the cabin safe in the event of an accident is a bigger priority mind you a 2 star rating is a bit average as a general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill a market that sells to itself, then flood it with a product that we have been denied for decades. Examples: Mustang camaro and corvette. Next will be the Hellcats. Our manufacturing industries struggle, while there's are thriving. Hmmmm. Obviously there are a lot of other factors such as our need and want to own SUV's and Soft roaders plus a massive push towards bigger and bigger size tradesmen ute's such as the Ranger. So we now were left to buy unaffordable European sports luxury vehicles and Kia's and Hyundai's. Which are slowly creeping past $50k the better spec'd vehicles. A world gone mad.... My 2c's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAXRTUTE Gold Donating Members 2,639 Member For: 8y 8m 2d Posted 08/12/17 11:00 PM Share Posted 08/12/17 11:00 PM Wasnt the import tax being canned after the deal passed last yr? Hence letting Expensive Daewoo and ford go under? The trade off was imported cars would become cheaper to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru Honda Mazda Nissan barely even have cheap cars any more and you wouldn't consider owning one of there small cars which are at the low end of the price range. Now given the Santa Fe Hyundai is probably a good piece of kit but northwards of $55 k pfffft...get fook'd In years to come when all of our rear wheel drive/ v8's and boosted 6's are piled high in wrecking yards it will be similar to Mad Max when purchasing your new car, scavenging the wastelands of car sales to find the last of the rear wheel beasts we came to love so much.
