Opinions on BA Falcon and VY Commodore design

Lump sorry and it would share somthing with the opel omega if its still anythig like the VN which you can apprently put a 6 speeder in no worries al you need is one new hole and a few minor mechanicals apprently its that easy to do it too a VK as well ive heard even more storie just then that the VK is same floor plan i dont know if that ones true or not

nah the vn had nothing to do with the vk, they were based off two different opels. the omega came out about 92-93 so realistically, anything after the vr commo could only be based on it

well any ways its an aging design so holden show us waht you got

**fpv_gtho** · 08-25-2003, 06:32 AM

chev already did, the ss concept showed at the last detroit motor show

**Falcon500** · 08-25-2003, 06:35 AM

well what are they doing sitting on their hands? lets see it in action!

**fpv_gtho** · 08-25-2003, 06:37 AM

did u miss the part where i said that it was only a concept, plus its not 2006 yet

**Falcon500** · 08-25-2003, 06:41 AM

did you miss the part where i said are they sitting on their hands? time is not GMs friend right now time is of the essance its about time they make a change to the commadore

**fpv_gtho** · 08-25-2003, 06:46 AM

gawd do u expect design miracles to happen in 6 months or sumtin, the normal time length for each chassis is 8 years u know, and within that 8 years, they cant stay too far from the vt design

**Falcon500** · 08-25-2003, 07:02 AM

ah yes but as i said its long past VT which still too many traces to VN if you can share part between an 88 model and a 03 model i think its time is fast running out...

**fpv_gtho** · 08-25-2003, 07:06 AM

the vt chassis still has a godd 2-3 years in it, and **** you, you got me deffending a bloody holden. the only australian car in need of a new chassis in the bloody magna. thats been around since 96

**crisis** · 08-25-2003, 05:12 PM

The Magna needs to be turned around so that the rear wheels drive.

**fpv_gtho** · 08-25-2003, 11:27 PM

yeah but onyl ford oz an holden have a clue to making rwd cars comfortable

When it comes to every day driving, front wheel drive cars are fine. I had a Camry which was comfortable and ideal for everyday driving. Boring though. If you have any power you definitely want it through the back wheels. Even the japs build them like that when they're serious.
