That might be a bit of an exaggeration, the only people who were unhappy that Holden closed it's doors was a percentage of Holden customers who would buy dog shit if it had a Holden badge on it.

When they started making big heavy slow cars and protested the rules of group 3A (now supercars) so that smaller foreign cars wouldn't keep wiping the floor with them (specifically Skylines), they lost any insentive to improve their cars and just kept making big heavy whales with big heavy engines to make up for it.

I'm an Aussie living in the USA and this video was effin awesome!! You lads made a couple of flubs with the HP figures of the A9X Torana and Walkinshaw Commodore, but well done regardless. Which Holden is my favourite? Easy, the HSV Maloo Ute. I wish the USA would drop that 25-year import regulation bollocks so I can import an RHD Maloo Ute for my very self :)

@@TheCriminalViolin it's a import regulation ... any vehicle not sold in the US has to be 25yrs or older If the vehicle is at least 25 years old, there are no EPA compliance requirements uponimportation. A motor vehicle that is at least25 years old can be lawfully imported into theU.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable DOT Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standards (FMVSS).

Great video. BTW it's Tom "Walkenshaw" Racing. Despite being an Aussie Ford fan, I respect Holden and its ventures. They made some very cool cars. The Sandman is lights out amazing! Holden also assembled the Japanese Izuzu compact sedan called the "Holden Gemini" which is a cult classic in Oz. Welded locked differentials, rear drive compact sedans with engines that LOVED a flogging were so much fun to drive. There needs to be a Video on the Gemini ❤

Was 500 miles back then.

Monaro did come out in a 161 tree on the tree. But yes. 68 the 327 saginor 4 speed and 10 bolt lsd diff .. yep. Then up we go

No Joe Hockey and Abbott stuffed it all and he had the Holden volt that Kevin Rudd asked them to make scrapped. As Rudd said if you need hand outs you need to come up with innovation for Australia so Holden pays the money back into economy as Liberals let overseas cars here with no taxes prior. Real reason Holden couldnt afford pay workers more because they only selling small percentage of Australian car sales. Which Australia missed out on building the first proper electric cars. Volt was built years before Telsa.
