VXR8 LEMON

Hello everyone.
Its with disgust that I am finding myself writting this letter.
I am an owner of a $75,000, fully optioned 2000 VX R8, I purchased the vehicle new, and its currently done 33,000 Km's.
This car has had two services in this time due for its third paid serivce.
The car is just about to have its THIRD engine.
70 other independent problems have been reported, with an average fix time of 2.5 goes at it.
I have had just about a full drive train replaced and that was within 10,000kms.
Holdens repsonse to all problems has been to denigh them or give some unfounded technical reply to them to bamboozel the customer.
This vehicle was purchased from GWS in Oakleigh Victoria.
I have asked for compensation, as yet after 5 months off the road and yet another visit still nothing.
I asked for a new car, no sir we cant do this.
I have spoken with the press, and an editor from one national daily said "we can not pursue this problem" I asked why and the answer was, we have done our quota of paid advertisements, when asked further I was told ont he side that the press in Victoria relies on heavy $ from GMH and other local manufacturers, so its not politically correct to publish articles like this.
Holden have prmised 12 months extra warranty yet like all the other promises refuse to put them in writting.
I have presented the car time and time again and are sick of it, are there any legal people out there who know of or have started a CLASS action suit based on the HSV vehicle? If you do please send an email to myself Paul [email protected]
