My favourite motoring journo Joshua D at it again...
http://www.news.com.au/technology/in...d064dc7e9e1ab3 Reports Everest fire as lowlight, funny no mention of the 5 Colorado customers having suffered actual "thermal incidents" (aka fire) and recall of 26,000 vehicles affected. Must be because GM products don't need bad publicity??? http://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news...e-hazard-32113 To balance the report, JD did report finding that fire was caused by disconnected/lose battery terminal. |

I'd trust what my 5 year old niece tells me about cars before I'd read any more of the click-bait crap he keeps on churning out.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

Chequebook journalism at its finest.
Just because Holden comped him an SS doesn't give him licence to rubbish the competition - especially when he overlooks his sides several fires; highlighting one Ford fire. Funny thing to ponder, after 2017 where's the douche going to get his V8's from? He's a small voice in a paper with a shrinking circulation so I don't think any Euro manufacturers are going to give him a V8. Way to shoot yourself in the foot Joshua you blowhard feaces merchant.

I do have a problem with lack of objectivity in not reporting the Colorado fires the result of a faulty part and subject to a recall and promoting a single ford incident caused by single tech error and not the subject of a recall. Fine if both are reported by me. |

Well the article was 5 highlights and 5 lowlights, so Everest was simply one of a few lowlights according to him.

Isn't this the same flog that said the SC 5.0 FPV GT was the biggest disappointment of the year, not all that long ago?
