I think the degree of unfairness in this article justifies the actions that people in this thread are taking.

I personally feel that Holden are copping a lot of heat at the moment too, Toyota are still untouchable........

Its like telling two people how they are doing at work in a performance review:
Ford: We're happy with your performance, your achieveing all your targets and not killing people at work...Keep it up. Also, we heard the boss of your parent company likes global platforms...? Holden: WoW, only 11% ! Your exceeding our expectations, is there anything we can do for you? Also, we heard the boss of your parent company got fired, and they're about to go bankrupt...care to comment? Its the way the article it worded. |

Full page editorial in the Courier mail yesterday taking aim at Rudd and Holden. Probably a lot worse than the sum total of all the small attacks on Ford so far.

That article is written by a person who knows what's going on. This is just the beginning.

If you live up this way Mike O'Connor writes a very humourous article in the Courier Mail each saturday. He is a very clever man. Thats the best article I have read on the Car Industries plight in a long time...............

when is the media right about anything all they do is blow things out of control its all ratings and money for them and they do not care if it effect people or other peoples jobs the fact is i can not wait till media can be in trouble for writing things that have no fact.
or for writing things that gets our troops killed because they have disclosed the exact locations of where they are ect. its up to us as people to do something about these news papers groups and tv Stations for writing the wrong things or just ill informed information. |

Wah wah wah wah one-eyed Ford fans go off-tap yet again. If you took off your blue-tinted oval glasses, and ignored some of the errors (Prez of Ford Australia... easy enough mistake to type in Australia while thinking America), you'd find the article is a general lament at the state of car sales in Australia.
Even the title is loosely based on Toyota's old Oh What A Feeling slogan. As for the comment on Commodore "only" being down 11%, that was probably a pleasant surprise for Holden as they may have been projecting a 20% loss. "Poorly performing" Falcon and Territory sales... who here would say that Falcon and Territory models are selling very well at this point in time? |

Off-road vehicles off road I haven't got a problem with. But around my area it's full of large 4x4's that are driven in and around the city / town, are washed and polished and have never seen a mud puddle let alone off road activity...stupidity, money wasting, poor purchasing decisions, massive compromise, etc, etc...but that's just my opinion... |
