A Road Runner special model was offered in the first year in addition to the standard Barina five-door Hatchback , complete with decals showing the Warner Bros. Cartoon character. The high-profile marketing campaign featured the words, 'Beep beep Barina,' a catchphrase that remains in the consciousness of many Australians in the 2000s . After two generations of being a Cultus twin, Holden began sourcing its Barina from General Motors ' Spanish plant in 1993 . The cars were identical to the Opel Corsa B. From 1993 to 2005, the Barina's history was identical to that of the Corsa. In December 2005 Holden dropped the Opel sourced Barina and rebadged the Daewoo Kalos hatchback, as the new TK Holden Barina. In February 2006, a four-door Sedan will go on sale, the first sedan type for the Barina nameplate. It will be equipped with a 1.6 L twin-cam 16-valve variation. The decision was made to ensure Holden remains highly competitive in the fast-growing small car market in Australia, facing competition from other South Korea n-sourced models like the Hyundai Getz . Holden New Zealand is to follow suit in early 2006 . Pricing for the 3 door manual TK Barina will be from $12,990AUD. The Barina was '' Wheels '' magazine's Car Of The Year for 2001 . |
