I was being sarcastic when comparing the aston to the holden, but holden is trying to copy them and many more car companys they try to rip off.

And EVO and STI are rips of Audi, its naïve to think that other manufactures don’t influence others. If it wasn’t for Audi we wouldn’t have the STI, EVO class of cars. It’s the essence of competition.

I hate holdens for the fact that so many jackass drive them and defend them such as yourself for being so great.

An ironic comment
when in fact they are ugly, chew fuel, slow
That’s emotive ricer stance on domestic cars, that all domestic cars are based on the 1977 model or something. If I had that view I’d laugh at the EVO or WRX, Japanese car fitted the above descriptions nicely.

I got to borrow a Manaro when it came out, I was surprised at it’s fuel economy. Like any car it how you drive it, believe it or not EVO like my WRX chews fuel. A Manual 5.7 is defiantly not slow, it has an aggressive acceleration profile and a HSV has an awesome engine not that no 2 liter turbo can compare to.

Yeah its good stuff, But as a family car they do a decent job at hauling the family around and can take a fair amount of abuse....but as a sports car....dont know what they are thinking, esp when they charge such a high price for there sports cars

Well you can say that of station wagons too, would you say an Audi RS6 is slow? I’d say Mitsubishi is a family brand too, and the standard Lancer is a economy car aimed at women, so do I call an EVO a riced out Lancer? Look at the individual car as what it is and not your hatred of domestic cars.
Luxury cars are expensive in their own right but ones with performance are even more so. HSV is a “sports-luxury” company, that you get both in one car. Like BMW M but half the price. The new Y series HSV’s have really great interiors that in comparison make the EVO feel like an economy car interior wise.
That aside I see the Coupe 4 as a work in progress for HSV, $90K is a bit steep for any car, especially that I see the STI and the EVO as the ultimate. Yes there's faster but 5-10 times the price
In truth though after my WRX I simply can't buy a Holden, bang for your buck and incredible handling, WRX and EVO all the way :turn-l:
