They're including cost in the 'run rings around' equation; the fact that a Clubbie costs near 1.5x a Redline hurts the Clubbie using their equation. $60k is kinda something people have become accustomed is a top-spec normal car, $90k is just what most people consider expensive.having driven both (Redline and LSA.. not the Ford)... I call that simply a line of BS
No, HSV is mostly owned by Tom Walkinshaw's company, whatever that's called.HSV is a division of Holden.
HSV get mostly-assembled & painted Commodore shells, and fit all the HSV-only stuff by hand. Assembly is a very manual, read labour-intensive, process; and labour isn't cheap in this country where we don't really have slaves.
Holden likes HSV because it's free marketing for Holden; people aspire to HSV but buy Holden. HSV likes Holden because Holden does 99% of HSV's engineering for them.
Well this was the old model, it's going to have to change for HSV to survive. Aren't enough people stupid enough to go back for a 2nd DaewooHolden, let alone a DaewooHSV for more moulah than a billionty-times better German alternative.
