Holden is American... and Korean and European. Whatever it is, its not Australian anymore

It looks great, well it did when it came out. But you have seen the interior right? This is pre-GFC Chrysler, it deserves to be set on fire and dumped into a pile of nuclear waste

My Outback would’t let me drive all the way into the garage when I had a beach towel dangling from the clothes line, even though the bonnet fit under it snugly

When I was in my first year at uni (2006) a friend of mine gave me a hard-drive full of torrented stuff and in there I found a link to final gear. I had a 1gb data plan for my broadband connection (LOL) and once you ran out it was unmetered until 11.59pm that night. I used to wait until normally the last day of the…

If you buy a car that is falsely represented as authentic, then hell yes you are entitled to profit! You haven’t taken a gamble, you have knowingly bought a car represented as authentic. Car values can go up and down sure. But this is a clear case of “I paid 1.2m for an authentic car, market value now says 1.5m, I can…

Errr what? We had a 2.0 diesel Outback which was replaced with a 2.5 petrol Outback. The diesel one was faster, more enjoyable to drive and more economical. The only thing letting it down was its DPF filter... but thats another saga all together. If it wasn’t for the DPF issue I would still have the diesel.

You can still buy these new in New Zealand... granted they aren’t road legal, they are marketed as a side by side to compete with that Mahindra jeep thing. They even say Maruti on the steering wheel! You can also get a Suzuki Jimny Pick Up!

I had a Corolla sedan on long term rental for 3 months while overseas and god it was boring! We had almost bought one as a second car for ourselves 9 months earlier...  I’m so happy we didn’t buy one now! The best way to describe it was “fine” nothing wrong with it. Like if you wanted a car - I’d say go and get a…

heh, I live in a RHD country, so left hand has to do the typing/gear shifting... not so easy being a righty :p - I’ve also grown up a lot in the last 10 years

People remember BlackBerry’s right? I used to be an Account Manager for a large telecommunications company... I was busy. I had a manual Ford Mondeo in the late ‘00's and I would still BlackBerry my butt off at 100km/h on the motorway, at 25-50km/h around town changing gears, emailing, changing gears, drinking coffee,…

Outside of Europe and North America, almost all Ford product from the mid 1980's until the early 2000's was sourced from Mazda. My parents had an ‘86 Ford Telstar that was basically a Mazda 626 with a mildly different face and a Ford badge on the steering wheel. My grandparents had two Telstars an ‘89 and a ‘93 both…

I don’t understand how manufacturers still design cars without a front mount for plates - given that 95% of countries (including Germany and Japan) mandate front plates! Its bonkers

These things are awesome! They are like a baby LandCruiser 70 Series’. I really want one - fun fact Toyota sold a version called the Blizzard, in fact if I find a Blizzard I will buy it!

I want solid axels, a turbo diesel in the front and hose down interior. What the hell Land Rover!?! What is up with that dash mounted gear lever? Where are the gears and the clutch pedal? Why did you kill the old model 😢

I thought //M meant //Money...

MOAB season is the only time I read all the comments on Jalopnik! 

Because the average 1 series buyer doesn’t know or care which wheels are driven. In the low spec (eg 85% of sales) this is just a premium 5 door hatchback. Buyers of a 116i are buying a hatchback, not a fun car. It just so happens that being rwd you have an awesome platform for making the best fun hatch possible. Who…

And they will have a stupid license plate like “0gasshortage4me”

There is someone near where I live that has a Great Wall SUV with both an //M badge and an AMG badge on it...

Every scene where a car has a column shifter and they are driving while it’s clearly in Park. How does this not bother the actor???
