Theyre slightly smaller, weight wise than some of the big landy's and patrols with a GM Atlas truck motor in em. Basically the softy-poofta version of the military one, dunno if theyre any good as an off road vehicle I'd have too ask some of the 4wd nuts at work when they get back from their Tassie trip if they know what theyre like.

Cant see them landing them here for much less than 75-85k though and thats not exactly cheap and probably not that most owners would take them too play where rocks, sticks and mud could gunk em up.

The low down says GM Aust may be selling the H3 by mid to end next year. The H3 at the motor show is on the Holden stand to gauge public reaction and is a 3.7l 5-cyl petrol.

Very basic and SMALL in the driver/passenger compartment and ugly as a hatfull!

Holden is definately on something. Look at their recent decision making skills:

Should we import new Vauxhall VX220 Turbo as an HSV model? Nah, no one wants a 4cyl turbo HSV... So we won't import this Lotus-Elise-but-cheaper-and-turbo-charged at all. But wait! Should import the 4cyl turbo Astra VXR as an HSV? YES!!! Everyone wants a 4cyl turbo HSV!!! :D I'm confused...

Import the new Vauxhall Corsa (Barina)? No, we'll import the Daewoo Kalos instead! Import the next generation Vauxhall Vectra? No, we'll import the Daewoo Tosca instead. We've got all the 4wd hardware to make a quality 4x4 like the Ford Territry. Nah, can't be bothered, we'll import the Daewoo Captiva instead. Everyone hates the Daewoo Lacetti (Viva), right? Of course they do, so we'll import that too!

Great! We've got HEAPS of Daewoo's on sale now! We're sure to reach the top of the sales charts now that we've replaced our entire quality European line up with the same Korean line up that sent Daewoo bankrupt!

So now the entire Holden badge has been cheapened by inferior Korean product. Hmmm... The only thing we're missing is an American car... Cadillac CTS-V? Chevrolet Corvette Z06? Nah, in this time of environmental conciousness and high oil prices, what we need is the new HUMMER H3!!!

:) SEROIUSLY HOLDEN, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!?!?!?!

These decisions are even worse than Toyota's "let's sell the Avalon instead of the Chaser" decision...

P.S. Nice VL ctjet, I like it a lot! Pity about the rims, though...

can't the government just flat out ban the f**king things? We don't need more stupid large cars on the road.

Whenever you are driving around and struggle to see around one to see what else is happening in front of you (basic hazard avoidance), or everybody time you see somebody struggling to get into a "regular" carpark or worst still take up two carparks in a crowded shopping centre you just think "you stupid f**king selfish c**t"

Thinking with their wallets - I bet they don't have a slump in sales due to these Daewoo brands and they also save heaps of money compared to bringing in Euro GM cars.

The Viva is selling only about 1/2 what Holden expected, but Barina is (unfortunately) still selling strongly. :( I was so hopeful after the Barina's breif sales slump after the press release concerning it's 2 star safety rating, but it seems to have sprung back to it's 1200 units per month sales norm...

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
