Comp is done and dusted. Many thanks to everyone who got behind the forum members cars. If you look at the voting for the Video and Photo sections, 3 members from SG made it into the Top 20 for each. A great effort and good recognition for our community .

Shame you didn't finish a bit higher Shifta, I voted for you and who ever else was there as often as I remembered.
By the way, I was joking before, I didn't vote for that crap video

The one I'm surprised about is how few votes Wayne's PWS got
I thought it would have got a lot more then that?

I can't believe that the Mitsi vote didn't go to a 30 year old car, isn't that what it was all about? The longevity of the love for the brand?
Gotta say I am pretty disappointed in MMCA, not as disappointed as I was that there was never a 380 wagon or as disappointed as I was when the 380 was FWD only, not as disappointed as I was when I found out VRX meant pov pack with a body kit. And they wonder why they failed in this country

[tubby]

they havent failed in this country. retirees and hairdressers apprentices gotta buy their cars somewhere

not as disappointed as I was when I found out VRX meant pov pack with a body kit.

Hey.
I have one of those (Lancer VRX wagon), and it suit my needs. I have no use for a turbo'd or performance car.

The one that really makes me angry is, I could possibly be buying a replacement for it soon, and what do I buy?
I want a small family wagon (basically the same size as the Lancer VRX wagon). I DON'T WANT AN SUV. (I would prefer a turbo Diesel).

So what choices do I have in the small/medium wagon market?
Golf wagon
Skoda Octavia wagon
Mazda 6 wagon
Subabru Liberty (Subaru's are the ugliest car on the planet atm)
Hyundai i45 wagon (I think that is the model designation, I saw it in the paper 2 weeks ago)

If the Outlander was available, with Non-Gay raised suspension, and in the VRX I would have a serious look at it. But it's not, so I wont. How's that Mitsubishi? What you currently sell is shit. You've lost a buyer who actually has money (insert emoticon with the middle finger up)

Gotta say I am pretty disappointed in MMCA, not as disappointed as I was that there was never a 380 wagon

I thought I was the only one?

Couldnt agree more!

We all wanted Shifta to place, but honsetly, the mint original PWS DESERVED a spot in the winners list. Celebrating 30 years in Australia, the GH was the first model they made in this country, cant be too proud of them then.

+1

You can't sell a 30 year old car to new car customers. The idea of having devotion to a manufacturer and being rewarded for it is nice, but the competition is a marketing ploy. And they're going to flood the market with cars that they think they can sell against what other manufacturers have on the market. If you want a 4 cylinder non SUV style wagon - the pickings are thin...

[Shifta]

My opinions on the whole thing are vast. My favourite cars in the picture category were Steve's GH Turbo, the Wherrett, the old guy with his mint brown/gold GJ/GK. I honestly don't have a favourite in the video section as I'm still not sure what the criteria should have been. Were proffesionally made, big budget entries better than the ones with a handy cam and no editing? I really don't know. I can see why the alien video wont the comp, however I would have thought the Ninja Magna video although cheesey would have covered both marketability and effort in terms of votes. I know how hard it was to get that many votes so I can respect both their creativity and dedication to the comp. The main thing to note is that the two holiday winners weren't put into the final by votes, they were both Misti chosen. Overall I don't mind the two overall winners. I'm still dissapointed about not making the final, but had a good crack and can now get away from the computer and go and enjoy the real cars and the real passion that I have for my cars, just like my fellow forum members have for theirs.

Oh and ps. if there was an AWD wagon made in the Magna/380 series, my daily driver would have been upgraded to one of those long ago! The 02-05 series of AWD cars have less power, less room, and are more thirsty than the other cars available. It dissapoints me that only 5 out of my 6 cars are Mitsubishi!

Disappointed in this competition...not because a sigma wasnt there, not because an old mitsu wasnt there or because I wasnt a finalist.

Its because I felt the finalists chosen by mitsubishi were solely to benefit themselves (referring to videos) and the pictures were just a lucky pick out of the lot. Especially the magna with hearts, couldnt put a label to it, but I just didnt understand lol. I didnt think the video finalists were fair either. "Normal" people will never be able to reproduce a product of someone that works in a production studio.

It shows how tasteless and uncreative our car industry has become in all aspects.

[RyBj]

is it possible to find the video of the top 20 entries?

Hi Simone,

I think something like what MMC has done to celebrate long term ownership and brand pride would have been a nicer outcome from the promotion above. I really think MMAL dropped the ball.
Have a look and please let me know what you think
