In bed with HSV...

[MAD]

I was just reading an article about the new BMW M6 (373kw, $275000) and noticed something that really surprised me...

COMPETITORS

Where do you place the M6: on price or performance? At a projected $275,000, it will be more expensive than a Maserati Gransport by about 40 grand, but has more cylinders, power and probably performance. But then again, it also out-powers the Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG, yet undercuts it by almost $100,000.

Don't forget the M5, or if you aren't swayed by a European badge and don't mind saving close to $200,000, there's the HSV Coupe GTO. Or maybe a Porsche 911 Carrera S or Jaguar XK-R at closer to $220,000 might be attractive.

What a bloody joke...as if any HSV is a competitor to the M6, how many companies are in bed with HSV???

This is not meant to be a dig at HSV or anything to start a flame war, it just really surprised me that HSV got a mention when there are plenty of other brands that could get one and be more deserving of it.
