Why Holdens are useless

Australians have an obsession with driving useless cars just because of the badge they have on the front. Holden was smart enough to exploit this and simply rebadged the Korea made Daewoo Aveo as a Holden Barina and then shipped it to Oz.
Today the NCAP crash results came out and surprise, surprise the Barina/ Daewoo Aveo scored two stars, which basically means its a coffin that you can drive on the road. Some selected quotes.

"unacceptably high risk of life-threatening injury to the driver's chest."

"The driver was found to be at severe risk of injury at just 64km/h" This quote surprised me as I never realised any Daewoo could actually reach that speed.
