RIP Holden

[karmakid]

I guess you can equate this last Commodore to the US Crown Victoria, only I don't know if it'll go to some collector in Saudi Arabia.

To my fellow Oz and Kiwis, my condolences... it's a sad day.

I learnt to drive in my mum's V8 Commodore. The thing was so loud, but it was fun.

Everyone had them when I was growing up, but then everyone stopped buying Aussie cars in the 90's for some reason.

I also threw up in a glove compartment of a Holden Barina the first time I got drunk...

sad to see another car factory close down. You cant compete against cheaper imports.

Oh lord... The workers had to sit through a performance by Jimmy Barnes...

They've just lost their job! Haven't they suffered enough!?

I'm not a car guy, so I never even heard of Holden. But checking that link, 455 hp!
