I've never been able to understand the staunch NZ (& Aus) Holden vs Ford rivalry. They are both shit cars. Perhaps its a colonial thing... Hop in the Holden, pick up some piss, go home watch the rugby then beat up the misses.

I really don't fit in here.

Actually, up until 1983 that was Ford's advertising campaign. Holden's was similar, but they used a small child instead of the wife.

Yeah, me too.
I've driven a few, and they all felt 'not quite sorted'. The last one I drove ("Moby Dick") was a Falcoon station wagon. Not what I wanted, but I booked it two days beforehand, and all the Toyota 4WDs were gone. The first one (brand new rental) wouldn't even start! They were going to make us wait and change the battery, and I said, "What about that one? Is that being used?" so they swapped out luggage over.
The first set of highway curves I came to, I was astounded at how CRAP the handling was - it was so wallowy, in its Big White Whale way, that I thought we were going to crash. However, the wallowiness made some sense when we were late for a jetboat ride, and were carooming along at erm... licence-losing speeds on newly repaired gravel roads. The thing just glided over the potholes as if they weren't there. :blink:

Still a piece of shit though.

Good thing you picked one of the better fords. Wouldn't have wanted to get a crappy one.:third:

Exactly the same as the Honda is gay, Suzuki's crash etc thing. It's brand loyalty for the moronic :beer:

[cowpoos]

Oh for godness sake!!! no I don't wanna buy other cars people...stop fricken PMing me... I actually want to talk to someone to get a couple of answers to something.


and for the record...I'm looking at the v8 SS-V UTE...and I'm not a holden loyalist. or ford... the only true high performance cars in the world come from europe!! and tey don't do ute's!!

[jrandom]

anyone working for a holden dealership??

I think that HDTboy sometimes wishes he does.

[Coldrider]

VE SS utes are sports car handling, (the utes's are better than the sedans) long wheel base and power to hold the back out, apparently they need lowering abit, really thirsty though.

[Finn]

VE SS utes are sports car handling.

I think you're pushing the envelope a bit there. Saying a Holden VE SS ute handles like a sports car is like saying the Burgman handles like a Gixxer.

[ManDownUnder]

I really don't fit in here.

Try this...

It is a light truck and they go like stink for $50K.
The europeans can't do anything like that for that price.
They can't even get the concept.

[Coldrider]

And gravel roads, yee harrr......

[DEATH_INC.]

Gimme a holler Poos, we don't sell 'em but the holden shop up the road is prolly our biggest customer, pretty sure I can get ya a deal.....

[Fireyphil]

I would rather be seen pushing a FORD than driving a HOLDEN

I would rather be seen pushing a FORD than driving a HOLDEN Sweet,when my XR6 ute breaks down i will ring you instead of a towie:niceone:

[roadracingoldfart]

What the hell is so damm special with the Holden V Ford shit .
Why is it so important to be the best out of just 2 brands of aussie crap.

Ford is an American company standing on its own feet with a couple of European cousins . :msn-wink:

Holden is an Aussie company that doesnt make its own engines , gearboxes , diffs etc and hangs of the back of Chevrolet to exsist at all. :bleh:

Ohhh yer i get it now . Maybee i AM suited to be the foreman of a Ford dealer workshop :clap:

Shit im an asshole.

[Coldrider]

Holden densigned & built the 3.6 litre engine, and sizes it at 2.8 & 3.2 litres as well.
The VE platform is the first clean sheet car by GM for awhile, done in Aussie and the platform is exported for US models.
Aussie R& D is cheaper. I wait with interest in the new Falcon, i don't think they have the bucks to invest in a low volume seller.
The aussie cages are alot a car for the money, owners of such are as proud of their brands as we are about motorcycles vs cages, what is wrong with that.
That's the aussies, and what do NZer's do (I am one of them), don't even make a morris minor.

[Coldrider]

Don't remind me, a '69 skoda was remanufactured to a 'trekka'.
