and to think that holden bought the epica as a replacement for the vectra !!!
Hey guys,
as the author of Autofix.com.au I have to be reasonably reserved when mentioning brand names but honestly what a f*****n joke! I would love to write how much I despised working on Daewoo's and for Holden to bring out the VE and then follow up with this crap, they need their heads read. The word around the traps is that Holden has some sort of influence over Motor Magazine so don't take it too much to heart. The Euro shouldn't even be compared to the Dog Poo, I mean Daewoo. Anyway that's my 2 cents worth.

the first post just mentioned the rating of the euro had dropped for some reason, not that the epica was rated better. can sum1 who has the magazine verify if it actually claims this?
Yeah that figures,Motor mag seem to love anything Holden.As Eurodude said the koreans have improved but i wouldn't rush out and buy any of their cars just yet.Comparing the Euro with a Daewoo what a joke.:thumbdwn::thumbdwn:Quote:

it was nice to be one of only three cars with 5 Stars (euro lux, STi, Evo9) but for some reason the euro lux rating has dropped to 4 Stars...
can't remember what the epica rating was though but i would be surprised if it was better than the euro. :eek:
I don't get it. What's the relationship between the Holden and the Daewoo? :confused:
GM own Daewoo
A few of the current cars badged as Holdens are actually daewoo designed/built
The Barina, captiva & epica.. might be more, cant recall atm
Dont forget the Viva LOL!!!!

When one of GM's sub companies (subsidiaries) develop a car, they often manufacturer that car to other subsidiaries. In this case, Daewoo gave Holden the Epica. Holden are doing the same with the VE commodore, selling it in the US as a Pontiac
GM = Big Big company = Big under table money
Honda = Big but not as Big but can't be fxxked giving under table money
therefore rating drop on Honda rating raise on Holden (GM)
from chinese theory
