"THE now-bankrupt General Motors will make Australia the global centre of production for one version of its mid-size car, the Cruze, when it is built here next year under the Federal Government's green car plan."

Cruze? Surely Aussie's will call it the 'Kreuzer'.

:smile: There is the Cruze and then there would be the KREUZE. I would have thought the KREUZE would be something a little more top shelf. Aston Martin would be capable of building a KREUZE.

Surely the mid-sized car should be called the 'Gibbs'
Small-car with large engine, the 'Murphy'
Best large car should be the Holden 'Kreuze'
A ute with eccentric steering, The 'Jarrod'
The car that spends most of its time in the garage, the 'Harts'
Luxury saloon, the 'Judd'
Concept car, the 'Fev'

In 1983, the ALP chose the Hawke Carmira over the Hayden Ute.

I traded my run of the mill Kennedy in for a top of the line Judd a couple of years back

I do love my 2009 Wiggins. Hard to describe, but 110% awesome.

What were Port thinking, buying back a 3rd hand Carr from Freo.

The Williams was efficient and full of grunt with it's diesel engine, wish we still had one of those.

The Dorotich had a tendency to pull to one direction.

The Madden Harry was a big car with lots of legroom, and was able to go at not much faster than a loping gait. Was often seen as somewhat of a dinosaur, even in it's heyday.

In 1981 Carlton ordered a Maserati, but the dealer only had a Marchesani in stock.

The 2003 Deluca featured lots of legroom, but didn't have much up forward.
