Maybe its not stealing ideas but simply making what the market dictates/wants.

If the market made what we wanted we'd all have V12 Ferraris with plush full leather seats and 16 speaker BOSE sound systems.

Holden designs the HQ, pic's get leaked. Ford big wigs get asked 'bout the new design & radical departure from the HG/HT, Ford bigwigs say "We're not worried, we think Holden is making a huge mistake, the car is too rounded & gives the impression of being femminine (sp!). Ford will stick with what Australians want, good solid cars like the XW/XY".
2 years after the HQ launch, what does Ford bring out.the XA, a rounded femminine (sp!) car to combat the huge sales figures of the HQ.

-1. Who on earth would want such a finnicky pile of rubbish like a Ferarri! I know a guy who paid a 6 figure sum for this "so-called" very rare model & it's now worth similar money to a 2009 HSV GTS. It's uncomfortable to sit in, has no leg room, extremely poor vision, costs a fortune for a service, sounds like it has tin cans for an exhaust & looks like the chassis is made from furniture tubing. not to mention the impossible task of trying to replace a simple thing such as the battery. He loves it & that's all that matters I guess. He was proudly showing it off to me & pointed out the "handmade leather tool case" that it comes with. looks more like an old school satchel from the 1940's to me.

I've had 37 HQs but no XAs.
XAs are my pick of early coons, just something 'bout a XA sedan when it's got nice rims and dumped on the deck.

Its the ass, baby got back!
Personaly I believe Holden and Ford should have left it at that and just gone out of the business from there on.
"Look guys we did it, go home, have a Tooheys, these cars are the sex"
2 of the sexiest cars ever produced that the masses could buy.
From memory I have had about 5 of each, still cant decide which I love the most, so I will always be a slut for both.
