Default Re: Are we car enthusiasts being weeded out?

Hulk and stevz, the last of a dying breed of one eyed bigots. Come from the mantra of "nothing is better than a Falcon or Commodore".

If that was the case then everyone would be buying them and they would still probably shutdown to various worldly financial issues.

Sadly you two cannot see outside the red lion and blue oval glasses you wear. ALOT of cars on sale are better than the Falcon and Commodore, and ALOT of these cars exist in the same marque. Not everyone needs a huge car with a huge engine. Alot of cars offer the same space and are far more frugal with fuel. This is what people want.

I mentioned on here that I test drove an i30 recently (which would be much to stevz' disgust cause it is a gutless FWD buzzbox from Korea) and it was none of that. Sure torque may have been down for me coming from a diesel bus but nothing to say it cannot do all the things and more than the bus. Drive felt more direct and I could actually get it to steer how I wanted, hell it handled MUCH better than my AUII and BA XR6s that I had.

Dare the both of you to test the latest offerings and tell me a Falcon or Commodore is better, I know you both won't because the answer will be its not.
