	AutoWeb - Introducing The New Generation Holden Barina
		Holden's new Barina is available in a choice of two model configurations: three-door and five-door hatchback.
		Barina is the first car in its class to feature active head restraints, which further reduce the risk of whiplash injury.
		Barina is powered by a new 1.4 litre, ECOTEC double overhead cam 16 valve engine which provides a more lively, torquey brand of performance.

	Holden Barina \| Roadtests \| The Australian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Lacetti has become the Holden Viva, and the new TK Barina, which officially replaced the XC model Barina last month, is a Daewoo Kalos in all but name.
		Holden says the Barina is an improved version of the Kalos, sold here until last December, but when we put a Barina and a Kalos side by side we were hard pressed to spot any major changes either inside or out, apart from badges and a few trim items.
		Holden knows from the old Barina, which sold about half as many as its major competitors, that being cheap is more important than being good.

	V8Central Forums - Holden Barina - 2 star safety rating
		The Barina score is particularly disappointing, because the previous model of the vehicle achieved a 4 star rating.
		It's a pity, I was given a 2004 Barina on a trip to Wellington last year, and it cost $35 for the week in fuel, and I did some serious miles in it, too; both urban and open road.
		Holden NZ are saying 'no way' and are standing by their claim that the test results were based on a single test, and was of a different nature than the tests performed on the 4 star Spanish model.

	eBay Australia's Holden Cars Buying Guide
		Holden first started off as an independent car manufacturer named “Holden’s Motor Body Builders Ltd”, but was bought over by General Motors in 1931 and henceforth became known as General Motors Holden, or GM Holden.
		Barina : First launched in 1985 as a rebadged version of the Suzuki Swift, the Holden Barina is a small, zippy 1.4 litre supermini-sized car.
		These cars were exactly the same as the Opel Corsa B. The Opel sourced Barina was finally dropped in December 2005, and Holden rebadged the Daewoo Kalos hatchwood as the new TK Holden Barina.

	Jack Yan: the Persuader Blog: Holden Barina scandal escalates—Consumers’ Institute calls for withdrawal
		Holden, in its guise as the automotive equivalent of the Warehouse, has chosen to sell the Daewoo Kalos as the Barina, a vehicle that can only score two stars in NCAP tests.
		Holden could have said that its ‘designers and engineers are working alongside the Korean manufacturer to improve product safety’ (and they are).
		Holden New Zealand says it is disappointed by the results, but doesn’t accept that the 2006 model is less safe than earlier models.

	HISTORY OF HOLDEN
		Holden sold the Nissan Pulsar as a Holden Astra (not to be confused with the Opel-sourced model of the same name) and used the 3.0 L 6 cylinder ''RB'' engine from Nissan's Skyline in the VL Commodore (1986-1988).
		As 1983 began, Holden began fielding something close to a full range: the Gemini as the entry-level car, the Camira as the mid-sized one, and the Commodore in the large sector.
		Holden also exports its Statesman sedan to the Middle East as the Chevrolet Caprice, to South Korea as the Daewoo Statesman, and China as the Buick Royaum.

	2004 Holden Barina
		Barina SXi and CD models with automatic transmission continue to be powered by the current 1.4 litre, 66kW powerplant and the sports-oriented Barina SRi retains the high-performance advantage of an advanced 1.8 litre, 92kW engine.
		Barina's advanced safety systems are augmented by a new 'brake assist' feature.This tie-rod brake booster improves control in standard braking situations and reduces pedal effort in emergency braking by automatically generating maximum braking pressure.
		Barina's rear bench seat and cushions are now split 60/40 and offer more cargo-carrying flexibility with a two-stage lockable seat back.

	1995 Holden Barina GSi Comments - Carsurvey.org
		Holden have no idea what the problem is nor do they want to have any part in trying to fix the problem since it happened when I got it back.
		I have a 1996 Barina GSI she is quick and has pretty good handling how ever the sump plug came loose and no lights on my dash informed me of low oil.
		I have a 1995 Barina GSI and have had many problems, from the timing belt breaking which resulted in major engine work having to be done, since then the engine management light keeps coming on and finally the car caught fire.

	Holden Barina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Holden's decision to bring the Daewoo sourced Barina to Australia caused some negative publicity.

	AutoSpeed - Holden Barina Test
		As part of Holden’s ‘Australian-isation’ of the original Daewoo design, the TK Barina is fitted with a relatively large 1.6-litre four.
		Chucking the Barina around is also quite an uncomfortable exercise due to the seats’ lack of lateral support.
		Sure, the Holden is a bit cheaper than most other small hatches – but we don’t reckon that's enough of an incentive to buy.

	Lifestyles: Motoring: Get A Hold On Barina
		Barina is in indeed a mildly made-over Daewoo (the Kalos, which was a miserable sales failure when launched here in 2003) and scored just two stars out of five in both Australian and European New Car Assesement Programme (NCAP) impact tests.
		If you were expecting Barina to rise from the ashes of crash-test defeat and at least provide a fun driving experience, you are going to be disappointed.
		Truth is, spend the extra for any of the Barina's Japanese competition and you're not just stepping up in image: you're moving up to a whole new era of driving pleasure and safety.

	Jack Yan: the Persuader Blog: The Holden supermarket
		Among the searches for Denise Vasi on this blog, another regular one is for the crash test results for the Daewoo Lacetti, or Holden Viva, as it is known Down Under.
		In Australia, Holden may have been happy to bastardize its brand with rebadged Camrys (Holden Apollo) and Suzuki Samurais (Holden Drover) in the 1980s and early 1990s.
		Holden might have been able to fool the odd person in the 1980s, but in Australasia, the internet is just a little too handy—and those NCAP results just a little too easy to ﬁnd.
