Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 13d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 02/09/06 12:23 PM Share Posted 02/09/06 12:23 PM The comments about the interiors was also rubbish because he was erm..comparing? a new model vehicle with a BA which if memory serves was released originally when, in '02? Dated? Not entirely when one is comparing apples that were just picked off the tree with the ones that've been laying on the ground for awhile.feh!It's a BF in the video.It's not even the XR8 shown driving beside the VE you can see through the drivers window...No bulge in the bonnet!What a disgrace to The Age.Send feedback, I think I will!

Where's the XR8?Until now I thought the car reviewing media told it how it really was.Looks like The Age bases there decisions on who chips in the most advertising dollars.

And they talk about an outdated interior in the XR? Yeah..... right...... You're right guys - this clip is rubbish.

SavageF6 Donating Members 1,622 Member For: 21y 20d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/09/06 02:42 PM Share Posted 02/09/06 02:42 PM CLEARLY that wasn't even an XR8 in a number of the video shots.Disgraceful piece of supposed unbiased journalism. You may as well have handed some rednecked Late model camira bogan a camcorder and asked him what he thought of the VE compared to the Falcon. Oh wait, you DID!Pathetic. Frankly, I would expect this sort of thing in 'Street Commodores', not the Age.←wankers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28210-ssv-vs-xr8-drive-video/page/2/#findComment-430059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Blue Powered by Ford's 3.7 V6 = Zoom Zoom Zoom! Member 890 Member For: 20y 6m 9d Gender: Male Location: Tweed Heads Posted 02/09/06 07:53 PM Share Posted 02/09/06 07:53 PM When the alleged broken down XR8 pulls off the road, it goes out on the grass about 2.5 metres from the edge of the road, yet the next shot shows it sitting there with the back wheels still on the bitumen. And aint it funny how it can drop that oil in one little patch on the road.Obviously, building cars is not Holdens only downfall, they could'nt even get their little scam video right. sClarke Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28210-ssv-vs-xr8-drive-video/page/2/#findComment-430071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
