THOSE that expected Ford to be quaking in its corporate boots following the launch of Holden’s Adventra V6 to rival the Blue Oval’s segment-leading Territory will this week be sorely disappointed.

I'm sorry .... what's an Adventra?

Is that a female version of my favourite kids show @ Adventure Island starring Jason Donovan's Mum?

No matter what donk they put in it, the Adventra still looks like a slightly jacked up Condomodore Wagon with some black plastic bits stuck on the guards - no contest.

It's a bit like that isn't it?

Too think I almost purchased one, if the Territory was a couple of months late I'd be stuck with a dud.

Wonder what the resale price is on those things now?

They'll actually be rare so may even be worth money second hand. "one of only 1000 ever made" or "They only made 2 in this colour in 2004"

Yeah but that will be in 30 years time... 2500 sold to end of 2004 according to vfacts.

At the end of the GoAuto article, Tom Gorman mentions, diesel, offroad and performance Territories are in the pipeline.

Territory · 02-27-2005, 04:32

No, actually he said:
“We have other Territory developments we’re working on at the moment that we’re not in a position to talk about,”
THEY said:
Mr Gorman, who confirmed off-road, diesel and performance versions
were the most asked-about future Territory models.

Too right, Pistol Pete. I thought it would look quite good and when I saw it in the flesh, it looked ancient. I have to admit Holden did a good job of the VY facelift, but I can't believe how they mucked up the Adventra. The basic shape of this car dates back to the 1993 Opel Omega Wagon, and when the Adventra came out, it already looked a decade old. No wonder Territory is kicking its ass.
