Default Is Carsguide.com.au an arm of Holden?

After checking for the past few years, it appears that Ford rarely rates a mention on this site, whilst Holden always have 4 or 5 different cars featuring in their top stories list. Other sites such as drive.com.au tend to feature both pretty much equally, and their reports also tend to have lots more information in them.

I've had several runins with them myself, especially when they have bagged ford (even when it had just won coty) and heaped praise on the holden instead; writing a spiteful and vitriolic article on why holden should have won. Now, my point is not a Holden Ford war, as I'm sure that both make good cars, but carsguide never praise Ford for anything, and they have just written another article (already 3) on the Holden 6 litre in a VZ.

So my question is, has carsguide.com.au the motoring section of the daily telegraph (a paper with its own leftish leanings) given up on presenting unbiased car related news, or are they just another arm of the Holden PR machine?
