Being in a engineering enviroment and the not so proud owner of a 4.0 litre Ford Falcon,after owning a lovely Saab in the UK am about to chop the Falcon in for a 2.3 Saab 9000,at the end of the day,Aussie cars are crap!
It starts,runs,has an unbelievable capacity to drink fuel like it is going out of fashion,It's top of the range but has no cruise control or airbags,but put your foot down on the freeway and the kickdown is something else!
the bodywork is pristine but feels like tin,read the road accident reports and the number of Fords& Holdens that fall apart is scary so thats why I'm swapping to some good Swedish automotive transportation!

You're right. Those boring Honda guys could only manage to win a few Formula One constructors championships and could only manage 6 years in a row from 1986-1991.

Quite how Honda could be so successful at racing and still make crap road cars is beyond me. The Same holden that is selling entertaining V8 road cars around the world. For your information Honda have signed up for a V8 race series in the UK despite not making said road car Muhahahaha
