Go Better........... lucky it wasn't a commodore. With that massive A pillar you wouldn't be able to see yourself going head first into oncoming traffic.

Those comments on the youtube clip are pretty anti-union. You'd think you might be happy that the government bailed out a company that employs tens of thousands of people in your country.
But not in the good ol us US of A |

its like the big kick up about all the products you see on the supermarket shelves that have the 'australian made' logo on them, and then when you read further it says 'packaged in australia from imported products'!! haha. |

Well you can get a FG with American engine, German transmission, Chinese glass, Japanese Tyres, New Zealand wheels, Malaysian carpet...etc etc. They are all as bad as each other in importing parts. |

Oh well, at least they can stop the car. Unlike another popular make that has brake and balljoint issues.
Seriously, I personally can't see the funny side to it. I wouldn't care what make of car it was. having a steering wheel come off in your hands, when driving is a bloody scary thought. Not a laughing matter.
