In Australia we use these as shopping trollies. My Grandma takes one to crochet class. We’re all deaf in Australia so we need that exhaust to tell us when to change up. ............ we never change down.

The Roar of a Lion can be heard from 5 miles away. Holden HSV we going to miss you forever

This makes me so proud as an Australian, its hugely symbolic of us and our culture. At the same time it brings me to tears seeing Holden's needless and pointless demise and end in real time....and for what? Those responsible can forever go and

For our US viewers that may be wondering: Walkinshaw is to Holden in Australia what Shelby is to Ford in almost every single way.

We Aussies really knew how to build brilliant muscle cars but between Detroit and our stupid federal government all of that knowhow and technology has ended up with Australia losing a quarter of a million Aussie jobs..........

Ah, this was when we made things. Now we just pump up property prices. Go Australia!

Finally a Pom who can say Bathurst properly, original top gear guys couldn't

I bought my first V8 police pursuit car at an auction in Western Australia when I was 18yo. I updated at auction every 2 years until the WA police stopped using V8s because they were too dangerous. I never got a bad one. Super fast, super fun, super reliable and super cheap.

I’m lucky enough to have spent some time behind the wheel of a few of HSV’s cars. What isn’t mentioned here is that they were comfortable pussycats when you weren’t sinking the boot in. ...and when you did stick the boot in, they shrunk around you and had a level of agility you wouldn’t have expected from something that big. They were kind of a fusion of Euro and US thinking. It’s a tragedy that they no longer exist. Keep it Colin...you have an appreciating asset. They are starting to command silly money back here in Aus.

With all the hoarding going on at the moment I needed this video to remind me why Im proud to be Australian. And yes, various versions of these commodores are pretty much a daily experience at the lights round here. We love em. Its sad to see them stop making them.

hi, that’s my dad in this video! He sadly passed away in April 2020 and I’ve recently rediscovered this video and seeing and hearing him for the first time in god knows how long is amazing, I just wanna thank you for being so nice around him and just being a good sport!

I’m an Aussie with an old vb commodore V8. There truly is nothing like thumping down a highway with a commodore v8 with a smile ear to ear. You can literally watch the fuel gauge move.

Best cars ever made and the US parent company closed them as they were too good and they didn't get the credit... Great one Australia

Got one. I go to work every day listening to that sound

The sound gives me goosebumps and brings a bit of water to my eyes. So proud of what our Holden lads achieved, they are very missed.

I drive a 2001 VU SS Ute, had it since new and i still love it. Love driving through Northbridge tunnel, dropping it into 2nd and just listen to the noise! But no more Aussie V8's! What a shame!

I have had a couple of Commodore V8s over the years and they were fantastic cars.

Colin glad you picked an Aussie 🤟 sad we're not making them any more 😞RIP Holden

The world would love Aussie V8 cars, reminds me of Mad Max n the pursuit, vs the interceptor.
