Holden Captiva

Choice of 3.2L V6 or Turbo Diesel power...

Same size as X5, significantly lighter than Territory. 7 Seats, permanent AWD.

This sucker will give Territory a serious run for it's money & anyone who doesn't think that is just plain stupid. Especially when they see the sticker price...

It still has the " Made by Daewoo" stigma attached. People still say "Made in China, no thanks" and this is years after they've lifted the game over there. Most fairly expensive consumer goods made in China today are of good quality. People say "Buy Sony, it's made in Japan". Errgh, wrong. Not all Sony is made in Japan any more, the stuff made in Malayasia is below Sony's usual high standards. You wouldn't believe the "bring back" rates of some suppossedly "quality brand name" products.
Ask any "Joe Public" what they think of the 'new' Viva and Barina, 8 out of 10 I've asked say "no thanks" (from different brand loyalties).
Ask anyone in the retail industry, consumer perception is a very very powerful selling point.
