That price Vs. Ability equation was probably what Holden were looking for.
I can imagine they can stick a larger mark-up on the New Barina (import costs are cheaper, manufacturing...you name it, it's cheaper) than the old one (which suffered from being european and talented).
Australia's best awards are severely flawed in their method of judgement - Cost is obviously one of the main deciding factors, instead of say quality or ability. but I guess they're representitive of real world decisions - do I really want to spend an extra $2K on a excellent Fiesta when I can buy a capable Getz and pocket the change?
On a budget, I know what i'd do.
Doesn't excuse crap product being passed off as talented, or even 'New', Holden.
