Why are clowns running around in holden utes that have chev badges on them???
Its a holden not a chev, next it'll be astra's with hsv badges, fords with nissan badges and mitsubishi's with a dodge emblem on the bonnet.

Any serious car enthusiast should choke on the idea of putting a badge on another car, its just sad.
Or am I wrong here?

Ever thought it might be YOU that is sad? Hell you managed to ask a question that has been asked countless times before............. why? because you did not bother with the SEARCH FUNCTION.

I stand corrected, fugg me.
And i get it, yes, they have a chev motor in them, but why bother re-badging a car to be something its not?
I'm sorry, I assumed it ticked people off as it does me, but then I guess on a car site filled with "sileighties" and cars with no 2 panels colour matching it's standard practice.
I retract my previous statement.

The point remains... it is a wanker thing to do the rebadging.

Cant say I have EVER seen a Holden with a Chev badge and thought "Wow, thats cool and original"

So what do you say to Holden who are currently releasing the VE with a Pontiac front bar option.

Are they wankers for pretending it's something it's not?

Considering that Pontiac is finished for now... yes, its a huge insult.
The reason Pontiac died in the first place is because they went from making muscle cars to making 4banger versions of muscle cars and tried to break into the "soccer mom" market.
So slapping a Pontiac badge on Holden's family car range is just balls.

I like holden, and even the ocassional ford, but no-one crosses the lines and puts ford seat covers in a commodore do they?
Just because Holden and Pontiac fall under GM doesn't make it right.
Anyone running around in Jag with an XR8 badge?
or a Festiva with the Jag hood ornament?

Have to be thick to not know really tongue.gif Though I guess there are the odd few out there oopsie.gif

But yes, I will call Holden wankers for pretending the car is something it's not.

While I'm there I'll also tell them to stop making cars, they do the world of motoring no justice at all mamoru.gif

I think they peaked at VK, maybe VL
but that's just my opinion, as is the chev badge.

As someone said, its their(your) car, do what you want with it, and I'm al for that.
I just wanted to know if anyone else thought it was tool-esque

Cause people who have those cars idol the american tossers and want to be just like them.

They can't afford an american car so they buy a cheap dunnydore and put on the chev badge to try and idol the yank wanks.

Apparently it's a sign of big and tuff.

I don't see how.

the gen 3 v8 is a 350 chev. therefore people put chev badges on them. the chev badges look better than holden badges anyway unless its a clubsport r8 as the boot garnish is different you leave it holden. its everyone to the own some people like them some dont. who cares honestly?

LSx is a chev, its just not called a 350 like the first gens tongue.gif
the new ones are the 6L LS2's aren't they? I've never actually heard what cubes it is, I'm assuming closer to 370-390?

Fucking LOL

Holden are nothing but a big fish in a tiny little bogan backwater.

On a global level, they have done fuckall in comparison to Nissan

If nothing compares to cubes.... well... lets not bring up that Bathurst Argument again shall we? We all know how that ended hahahaa!

nissan are shit boxes? and holden helped motor racing? Mate it is the other way round u dick.
GTRS got banned due to there ass raping of the v8s. So nissan actually helped motor racing technology. Way ahead of there time.
its the holden shitboxes we could do without.

Here we go again. Holdens are this, Nissans are that. Who gives a flying fuck... really. Yes im a Holden lover, but i also can appreiate other makes of cars.

You ask why people put Chev badges on a Holden? BECAUSE THEY FUCKING CAN. Does it make it right? WHO FUCKING CARES.
It's the owners personal choice. Why do some dickheads put widebody kits on their car? Why put a Rallyart sticker on a stock Lancer? Why put a GTR kit on a GTST? Why put a Hyundai on the road? Because it seemed like a good idea at the time.

A car is a personal choice and what the owner wants to do to it is his choice. Some people like my car some people hate it. I built my car for me and no-one else just like many other people.

I mean shit......... can't we all just get along.
