Talking to Carsguide is like talking to TT. Unless they're on your side your not gonna get a fair go.

Not in the slightest.. if it was a public announcement or "damage control" stunt he'd have chosen a much different approach and medium to use..
Its pure journalistic spin.

No what I meant to say was face saving, or some such. Trying to make it look like they're impartial and sticking it to everyone equally. I'm talking about the CarsGuide link in the post I quoted, not Burela's words.

haha i was thinking the same thing

i think that they need to focus on the imports/companies that dont make cars here other than draging the companies that have real people employed in making a car here in aus and yes i mean holden as well and any other company that produces cars here

You dont see them stating the facts about the FG being the first car built here in aus that got the 5 star rating

these crap articals are just that crap and in my books have no reality in the real world what anoys me is the people that beleive them
