Default Motor Magazine

Is it just me or is that magazine completely Holden biased?

I don't read it all the time, but whenever I see it in the newsagency or servo it always has a Holden of some form on the cover. And they're always Holdens with some power figure quoted, but you'll never actually see them released. WTF is with that?

And the thing that really gives me the shits is when they put the FPV Boss 315 Super Pursuit up against a Maloo, but had the Maloo as a manual 6spd and the Boss as an Auto. IMO that's not really a fair test.

Then the most recent issue I picked up had a Camaro, Shelby, GTS and a GT all lined up for a showdown, and surprise surprise, the GT was an Auto while all the rest were Manuals. And in the write up about the GT they cited the Auto gearbox as letting the car down in the corners because they couldn't smash it back and get the rear end around (or something to that effect), therefore resulting in a slower laptime.

Anyone else get the vibe that Motor is just a LITTLE biased towards crapodores?
