Is i just me or is Holden trying to take over the world.

Seems that they're starting with http://www.tradingpost.com.au. It might just be me but anytime I search for something containing the string 'ford' it brings up a ****ing Holden banner instead of the search results.

NOT HAPPY!!!

Karma mate. I was liurking over at LS1.com earlier and there was a Mustang banner on the top of the page! :D

I probably wouldn't mind so much if it still showed the search results. Instead, JUST THE BANNER :(

Try it yourself.

Unfortunately that Mustang banner is showing the back of some car powered by an LS1, and stating that this is what mustangs see.

Interesting quote about the Monaro..

Holden's marketing manager for large cars, John Elsworth, said: "That was the biggest hurdle internally. The bean-counters were wanting to justify every dollar and cent, but you simply can't measure the halo effect a car like this creates."
