Misinformation & general incorrectitude.
The size & market-segment are quite different, origin & design are different; the new Captiva is called Equinox (shortening of Equally Noxious),...

I don’t know that Holden would be dumb enough to think a Chevrolet badge can compete with a Porsche badge here?

i mean, to re-quote another comparison again on another page of this...

The only thing that springs to mind with XR5 is cruise control; or lack of.
Can’t remember if it was ever fitted.
I only mention it because most people would take it for granted in anything...

[Captiva Fan]

Yes all the guesses at what’ll be imported are saying they’ll go with a higher-spec car as it’ll go some way towards justifying the amount they’ll charge. That US$85k car will...

^ As active purveyor of mistrust, loathing & pure hatred for all vehicles of this ilk ... I’m not sure if there are that many similarities between a US-designed & built one based on a current...

They're not always that expensive; but they also don't offer a lot that a 4-post doesn't offer apart from not having posts in the way, the downside being that there's extra Reinforcing Shit under the...

Acadia can do 2T … now, those shitty rental trailers are 1200kg so it'd tow a Gemini, juuuuust.
But add tools, spare wheels, other paraphernalia in the trailer, and the trailer would want...

Is towing with a DSG a good idea?

My comment about it being a hybrid was because I can't see it being ever likely that a firmware upgrade for our Commode would make any difference to how it drove, but a firmware upgrade for a hybrid could...

Nobody actually knows yet, but the car mags are guessing at the same ~$160k as was guessed-at around here.

IMHO, however, Holden could do with a mic-drop around about now. A ~$100k Corvette...

Hmmm … I'd look into whether that 7 years is transferrable, as potential future value would weigh into my decision.
If the extra 2 years can't be transferred to a new owner, I think that my...

Are you sure it's a factory warranty if you have to service at the dealer?
I guess it doesn't matter whether it's "factory" or not, I discovered 2 days ago that our Commode doesn't have...

Northshore Mini would be a BMW dealer?

[Captiva Fan]

If they made a live-action movie of Jabberjaws, they now have his car!

This ... I've been getting it serviced to the book (which means 9 monthly 'cos it does nowhere near the 15k km in that time) without any of this risk of damage; it's still under full warranty. Well, 'til...

Mate, I know, we ALL know, what makes gerlytrux a big sales item - what makes people want them - fashion. I said that in the poast you accidentally misquoted.
People do all sorts of stupid things...

[Captiva Fan]

The SUV cash-cow, those things are all archaic so a Forester doesn’t seem so outdated AND they reap more $$ per sale....

[Captiva Fan]

You just have to manipulate the fashion, somehow.
I’m not in marketing & don’t know exactly how the stupid were sold on dangerous space-inefficient uncomfortable top-heavy thirsty...

Avoiding an electric vehicle because it can't do 1000km to a tank is not entirely unlike buying a Prado in case you ever got the urge to go off-road like you never have in the past. For most, given that...
