BMW anyone?
Holden/HSV may be onto something here. I imagine the designers, engineers, marketeers, and higher-ups sitting around, wondering how they can sell their V8 sedans when the general public just want to buy Mazda 3's with lots of features. Then some Mexican kid pops up out of nowhere and chimes in with "why can't we sell both?"
The board room goes wild. The kid goes home. Then GMH takes the key ingredients and styling elements from a Mazda 3, rolls them together with some home-grown prime Australian VE beef with a dash of supercharger sauce and Bam! The VF was born.
Pure genius. Australian style.
