New brand? :P
This little gem was in the West Australian Newspaper on 14/11 and then $1000 cheaper on 21/11. Haven't checked to see if its in todays paper again. On another note, that's a pretty good deal!     :

Holden have used a, if you can't beat them, buy them program for the V8SC series, maybe they will now do it for their performance division.

Methinks a decent reprimand would be handed out for that little error.

Yeah but chances are the work experience kid was in charge of that ad and was far too caught up on what was happening on Facebook that day to actually give a damn.

Maybe it was a new deal that we (the Australian Public) didn't know about??
Much like the Lexen/Commodore and Apollo/Camry deals on the early 90's??? Still - good for a laugh....

speaking of that situation.. what was the reasoning behind all that?..
i was told the government forced companies to share designs or something.. Ford Maverick/Nissan Patrol, Holden Commodore/Toyota Lexcen, Toyota Camry/Holden Apollo, Toyota Corolla/Holden Nova, Suzuki Swift/Holden Barina etc... |
