Kind of sums up the American Way at the moment...

It’s about that in Oz for diesel dual cab Z71 so I reckon you are on the money for the US market ZR2...which given the ZR2's better technical spec over the Z71 makes it a rather tidy deal.

You’ve got further than myself and a mate...

They could and it could be cheaper...but US$150,000 is still not cheap.

HSV’s reveal of their version of the Holden is also due in March...alongside reveals of their versions of the Astra/Vectra and the Colorado.

That’s required so an F Series notices you when it tries to run you over...

I remember it. It could hardly had been a disaster given that VW are doing it all over again...surely...

The VB was indeed assembled in Oz. But it was based on a European designed platform and had significant volume components manufactured offshore (like every Commodore since). Mumbles at the time went along the lines of it’s not Australian etc etc.

That’s paraphrasing much of the commentary at the time when Holden replaced the Kingswood with the Commodore...ignoring the fact that (the 4 cylinder version notwithstanding) the Commodore was actually a far better car than the Kingswood.

Trust me, its a hell of a lot more insane when seen through the windscreen of a Daihatsu Delta like this one...

Oh I don’t know. After all, he was watching out for LeBlanc’s waistline...

If its going to be more about doing dumb things in and with motorised vehicles than about the vehicles themselves (which on their own on the TV aren’t very interesting unless the person driving abusing caressing lampooning wringing its neck does so in a watchable way)...then sure why not, I’d illegally download it.

Call it the Collingwood then!

Is it pedantic or semantics to point out that this isn’t the last Holden Commodore? Or even the last Holden? Both the brand and the nameplate will continue.

This buyback in the Dieselgate context is almost unique to America. And it is stupid expensive (perhaps to try an give the impression of slapping VW over the wrist) which has then led to this gaming of the system. But in the end...the money has to come from somewhere...frankly, the sooner VW gets out of the US then…

Charging down the unsealed Kanagra Walls Road in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, Australia. Attempting to get to the campsite before dusk in order to avoid altercations with kangaroos, wombats and campsite Bogans. The Lada Niva was equipped with too fat tyres and too stiff suspension whilst being operated by a…

Not so much invention as innovation...
