"[boss of General Motors' international division] Mr Jacoby stopped short of confirming which car it will be" ... "Beyond that, Mr Jacoby was coy about giving any further details other than it will be a V8 and arrive in 2018"

Yes/no/definitely/maybe.

The way they churn executives at GM, my guess is that Jacoby will be gone before 2018.

Absolutely!

If we can't change our roads around like they did in Samoa, etc. I don't understand why we can't keep them RHD

Stevo - i hope when you say change the roads around - you don't mean going US - its hard enough getting clowns born and bred here to drive on our roads correctly.

Oh! And I forgot to add - the whole of Europe fits into Oz and Samoa is a full stop on the end of the word Europe. Besides farmers will complain it effects their cows when traveling to market.

The change will probably sort these people out; just don't tell them.

Yeah though how many times does our population fit into one of their cities, there's bugger all traffic lights in the Simpson Desert.

It'll fade your curtains faster too and Tony Abbott will kill it before it hits the ground citing it'll increase terrorism and how left handed Martin Bryant; with an IQ of 66; was able to shoot right handed from the hip with 'an almost Satanic accuracy'.
