Just fucking burn it all.

Charger and Chevy SS still exist, at least

Not that I would ever buy a Dodge
>>
>>14822575
I like the look of the charger, but I like to drive cars and not spend half my life fixing the cunt.

Feel like buying an ss ute with the performance brake package desu.

If i could get a reverse camera on the base model that would be super. Not too keen on running 20 inch wheels even if they're forged.

Also, fuck having this badge attached. It looks tacky as. I could leave the ss badge on the rear but even that could go. It's already pretty obvious from the exhaust both visually and aurally

feels good senpai. Government had to spend a billion dollars or something bailing these retards out. not anymore
>>
Im a..well was a Holden and I couldnt give a single fuck. Local manufacturing is far too expensive and they didn't/couldn't/wouldnt adapt to what people want. Holden had a great opportunity to make the Torana as a med size car to compete with the Mazda 6/ Honda Accord etc, even an SUV based of the base, but the Captiva would of been cheaper to sell. I guess the design decisions came from the top in GM NA

I'm going to keep my VT forever

I only drive porsches, ferrari's, lamborghini's, maserati's, bmw's, mercedes, rolls royce's, bentleys.
>>
Feels good my dude. Commodores are pretty shit and imports will only get cheaper
>>
>>14821872
Pretty good.

It'll be a shame to see the Barra go, but them's the brakes sometimes.

Sometimes you have to lose something out of your life to know the real value of it.

Chebby SS is just a Commodore. It's dying with the aussie car industry.
>>
>>14823457
Yeah but the Commodore is made with Chevy parts.
>>
Feels a bit sad desu, thinking there'll be no more new Commodores on the road eventually. Oh well. What old mate here >>14823222 says comforts me.
Also curious as to what the next bogan chariot will be.
>>
its a bad feeling. The only cuntry with RWD as the staple product is dead. I blame motoring presses giving commonwhores and falcons a bad name and always talking up jap and euro shit for sophistication while shitting on the already fragile aussie industry with whatever they came out with

But on the other hand, i will still own a VE commodore 6 litre v8 and that wont go away when the australian industry does, so i dont give a fuck

>>14821872
Horrible.

But all cars made here have been absolutely shit since 2002

The interior built quality went to shit
Styling went to shit
Build quality went to shit

Only good thing that we did was a 2003 Barra Turbo 4.0l absolutely amazing engine.

Car wise we havent done anything good since, i could argue that the vt-vx was the last good holden made but some of the newest lsx powered beasts at least go noicely.

looking forward to getting all the american cars since we're not missing many now only the camero and corvette and a couple of others

we need a ls replacement.

It's pretty miserable.

I wonder how long v8 supercars will last before it turns into DTM 3.0.

They deserve it the cunts

It died in 1979 to be honest.

>>14822535
I cant tell if thats the tires going or just all the fuel from the exhaust

It would feel a lot worse if Australia made better cars.
