Default Holden to build V6 RWD small car

http://www.carcentral.com.au/2008061...small-car.html

http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/Ar...ID=53459&vf=26

Finally..Holden could build a RWD V6 powered compact sedan. I would buy this tomorrow if they build it and i bet a lot of 3-series, Accord Euro and Subaru Liberty buyers would too.

Wow. As much as I love my fords. I'd love to get with the kind of girl that would drive a car like that.

Torana? There has been speculation for the past year or two on this, good news! (even if it is a holden...)

As a Subaru Legacy (Liberty) buyer there is no way in hell I'd buy that over any Legacy.

If Ford built a RWD Mondeo that maybe a different story.

I can't see how it could happen.

1- It would eat into Commodore sales considerably.

2- Its would be similar to a car that will be built in Nth America which means duplication, when they could just import a RHD version.
