Uh oh... ugly American car craze earned some bad press in Australia when a local reporter characterized a Pontiac Trans Am as terrorizing an Australian neighborhood before crashing.


The reporter detailed how one neighbor claimed the Pontiac Trans Am was “deliberately fish tailing” before the accident.

Another detail the newscast in Australia definitely wants you to focus on: the big block (421?) of this assault muscle car of foreign origin, something you absolutely don’t need for commuting. There’s apparently absolutely no reason for any citizen to own such a machine of mass destructive power.

Naturally, being an American muscle car, this Trans Am took out its natural born enemy: a Volkswagen Passat. Sure, on the newscast they try pretending the VW was parked and minding its own business, but we all know better.

  1. Twenty years ago I worked briefly with a channel seven Australia reporter as camera man. Everything we did back then was for a "3second grab". Even back then they didn't care about accuracy or truth. In fact when there was no news my reporter would seek to wind up the indigenous community to protest something. Four weeks of that was enough for me. I sort of knew this before I started but came away with strong understanding of how dodgy the whole thing was.
