Did anyone else read about the H3, in a time of greater expectations on fuel efficiency and just when Holden are S##tcanning Ford for a slightly inferior figure, Holden have decided to bring out a SUV that goes through approximately 20-25 l/100km.

Do you think they actually ever listen to or read anything thay say themselves.

And the funny thing is that even though it wasn't actually stated as a direct competitor, they made mention to the turning circle being smaller than that of the Territory. I'm sure that will come in handy when you have to make those tight turns around the servo pumps coz all your other H3 mates are hogging the other bowsers.

Also just noticed the ad campaign on the video feed, could they make it any more blatant that Holden is paying there bills, I mean at the very least put one more other manufacturer in the ads regardless of who it is, LMFAO.

I guess Holden is just playing on the status symbol of the Hummer. But how many people are going to buy it just because its a Hummer?? But that fuel consumption is terrible!!

XRQTR · 26-10-2006, 11:16 AM

It'll be another 'Great Idea' kind of like the Suburban, they thought that because of a very small neiche market they could get good sales of they brought it in and got the price down. What they didn't realise was that most of these people brought them in because they weren't locally available in order to have something a little different, well that plus they didn't think about the trouble people would have parking them, haha. They are nothing more than the current 'In Thing' brought about by all the celebs and rapper/rockers driving them in the US, most of whom are starting to move away from them now because they are all getting a little greener in there thinking. Maybe if they jumped on it 3 maybe 4 years ago they would be onto a winner, bit late trying to catch the tail.

To be honest the Force8 looks good in the pics, if that is a purple metallic color with the red leather unterior that will most definitely look the shizzle, although the rims need some revision, possibly red their as well.

The Focus Convertible I must say I like very much, the new models front end definitely lends itself well to a convertible, hope to see a few of those on the streets this summer.

Whats sources you got to confirm this?? I think it might be there also as on the live feed they could only show 2-3 cars per manufacturer. so it might be there hidding waiting to be unleashed.

So is it there or not?

DougM · 26-10-2006, 03:50 PM

The hummer H3 has very little to do with the original hummer developed for the military. It's a cheap copy!!! Mechanically it's based on the GM truck range(like the F series Fords). It's resemblance to the Hummer is cosmetic!!!
