Threads merged. Those who want to have a shot at the Magna Owners Club have had their posts edited as comments of that nature are not in the spirit of this forum where we encourage car enthusiasts of all kinds.

Sorry but that is laughable. It may impact only on XR6/ SV6, and even then it will be a hard sell depending on price. Remember the last Ralliart Magna? The so-called XR/ SS basher..

Tell you what, lets revisit this thread after the sales figures come out for the last quarter of the year next year and see just what does have the better sales figures, the 380, the falcon, the commodore. in thier current state I am betting the 380 will come out on top.

I also think you are being harsh on a ralliart version as the equivellent 380 vrx/sports model will be the one against the xr6's and the s v6's. The 380 is a totally redisgned car, its the Magna's replacement. Your drawing a line and saying that it is like the Laser and the Focus are the same car. The Focus was laser's replacement, not next model. Can't seem to recall a Laser in the world rally car championships ever, but the Focus made it.

Must admit it's not too bad. Very bland/safe design but no-where near as ordinary as the US Galant.
I hope it does well considering the amount of jobs hanging in the balance..

Problem there is that all of teh big three (not including toyota) cannot be selling well at the same time, unless some starts exporting something substantial. Unfortunatley I think its just prolonging the slow death of one fo them.

The 380 is pretty much what I expected it to turn out like, however I was hoping the interior would get a major restyle. It could be more adventurous in its styling although I wouldn't say its as bland as a Camry or Futura.
