BRK Member 361 Member For: 13y 24d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 29/05/14 12:20 AM Share Posted 29/05/14 12:20 AM (edited) I cannot wait for the Great Wall Cherry Ta Ta hybrid. It will either be a cake you buy from Brumbies...( if that lasts??) OR a car with a two stroke Victa with 9 billion AA batteries gaffer taped together in the back seat. Passengers on the roof or in a trailer . . . .Someone I know is in the market for a new car so I had a real good look at some of the offerings on the small / medium car market recently... hardly inspiring. I thought I was in Woolworths / Coles car yard - they just all felt the same. I wondered what the hell I would buy if I was buying right now and excluded a large sedan with some road performance. V6 in Honda, Nissan or Toyota.... ??? My mate said I was "an old and fussy A/hole." Yeah, probably.The Subaru WRX was the only thing that lit me up - had the CVT transmission - but the back seat leg room was so-so and they weigh around 1500Kg which kinda takes the edge off the grunt but made for a good ride. Well made though - about 40K or so.Anyway, the loss of locally made big RWD platforms is all a done deal and we are stuck with it. We wait and see what we get.

People at Ford should start looking for jobs now. Its only a matter of time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Expensive Daewoo and toymotor will start slashing soon as well. Edited 20/06/14 11:56 PM by BiZkets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the wet it would beat my turbo to 60kmh I reckon Yeh I wouldn't buy a new ford especially now, I wouldn't buy a new ford ever though.
