Airbags have been removed from factory. The logic here is that any head trauma is likely to make an improvement.

I am not a Collingwood supporter and appart from the badge on the boot I think it looks good.

The will probably sell a lot of them and good on Holden for doing it.

Ford have been doing sucker, sorry i mean sticker specials for years so I am not sure what the big deal is?

Gawd why are people getting serious about it, if you cant have a giggle at this then what can you. Whether they sell another 2% p/m because of it matters little now.

Funny how there is so much publicity for the Collingwoodore on TV and the newspapers, but I have not seen anything at all in the media for the GTF, the final Ford GT.

^^ - Wait for the many Canterbury Bulldogs supporters to crazy over Subaru's new "HECTIC" edition WRX.

Speaking of HECTIC, this is a good laugh, http://www.frequency.com/video/hecti...18/-/5-6567557

Football has a high percentage of bogan supporters. Commodores are traditionally the bogans car of choice. Holden's marketing department have now realised this and are targeting that demographic for sales through their sporting preference.

This special model comes with the added bogan xtra of pre loaded POI in the sat nav.....

Centrelink locations australia wide.

Drivers of this new collingwood model will also be seen speeding en masse around our roads looking to get booked by speed cameras. They'll do anything to get 4 points.....
