Or if they gave one to a teenager?
Under aged sex

or if there were spiders in it?
Creepy sex

Or if it was really structurally sound with multiple airbags?
Safe Sex

or if it was parked next to another identical car?
Same sex

Umm, I give up.

As for all the bagging and ridiculing of the S3X name, this car will not even be called S3X when it goes an sale in Aus. S3X is just it's concept name, just like the Territory was know as Raptor when it was released as a concept.

As for the car itself don't judge it just yet.
Here are a couple of extracts from posts on LS1. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Quote:
I continue to be amazed at the number of arm-chair experts (including some who should know better...) who have such incredible knowledge and experience that they know all about this car and how bad it is going to be, when they have yet to even sight one, let alone drive one, and the bloody thing hasn't even been produced yet....Talk about nonsense! Give me a break! Since these opinions are based solely on its country of manufacture I guess these same people would also be bigots who would have the same strong racist views about all people form this country too. Just for your own credibility, at least wait until the effin thing has been built before you decide its fate...
Quote:
Now as for C100 (S3X), this is a totally different story. Every person I have spoken to who has see and been involved with the car has had nothing but praise for it. It is marginally smaller than Territory, is based on a FWD platform and has a 3.2 V6 but it is certainly much larger than the CRV segment. Daewoo and Holden have a competitor for that segment lined up in the future as previewed by the T2X concept. The C100 will have 7 seats and be very roomy, the quality is said to be fantastic especially for the average Korean car and it has a relative weight and therefore fuel consumption benefit due to its much lighter weight compared to Territory.
As has been said before, don't bag the car jut because it is from Korea. All of the facts that are known suggest the car will be a knockout. The pricing will be significantly lower than Territory for a comparable spec and there are many elements of the C100 which will be vastly superior. I just want to know why everyone hates Korean product so much? It's not 1990 and we aren't talking about ИИИИbox 4 speed manual excels here, the game's moved on and Korea now leads the world in electronics and ship building, amongst many other things. Pull your heads out and have a look around because we now live in a global society, and we are all better off for it.

I know nothing about this vehicle, but from the looks and also the fact I don't like SUV's, I reckon they have named it well. It S3Xs!

I believe it's going to be called the Chevrolet Captiva in the European markets, there's always a chance the Captiva name could find it's way here.

"the quality is said to be fantastic especially for the average Korean car"
Condemning with faint praise? Even the people who praise the vehicle aren't very confident if they need statements like this. If the quality was so good it would be compared against the benchmarks of good quality, not against the benchmarks of poor quality.

"and it has a relative weight and therefore fuel consumption benefit due to its much lighter weight compared to Territory".
Load it up with it's full complement of 7 people (and their luggage) and see how the little V6 performs then. Try it even with just a family of 4 with their 2 week holday luggage.
These motors have already been slammed by the worlds press because of their poor NVH, poor bottom end grunt and thrashy top end. If you have to belt the cr@p out of it to make any progress, then GM-H will have another white elephant (aka Adventurer) on their hands.

Has it been a week already? Damn.

Here we go again on the pro holden crap on a ford site.
It's like a certain minority of the community who tell us that they are about peace and we infedels should all change our opinions to suit them.

BTW, I have seen one of these POS in the flesh. Additionally, if you want to drive one, go to your local Daewoo dealer and ask for a test drive stooge.
