FORD will never outshine Holden-no matter what they do?

Once again, it's perception, and Holden through slick marketing have placed a cheap covering over people's eyes and convinced people that their cars are the only Australian offering out there.
Wearing a 2008 Geelong Football Club cap caused MANY people to comment on the Ford logo on the side of it, namely, "Why are you wearing a Ford cap? Holden is way better."
If I asked them why 'Holden is beter', the answer was something along hte lines of, "Holden is Australian".

It's about marketing and perception. I hope that that changes eventually and that people's perception can change to something that resembles reality...

Australian? Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't they mostly Opel imports? (the commodore series anyway).

That said, I loved my old VK, she was a beast. However, the EF is slowly taking that spot in me now.. I honestly can't see why there's such rivalry between Holden and Ford. Any car can be made to look good with the right $$ regardless of the badge.

Holden being more 'popular' is purely marketing. Simple.
