There are many other cars out there, but Holden's still hold a place for a lot of us.
Yes, same here!
Dad worked at Holden from 1973 to 1991. He threatened me with blue murder if I ever bought anything other than a Holden. It was bad enough when I turned up in my first car in a Mitsubishi "Sopwith" Sigma in 1992. Got rid of that ("I don't want that rubbish sitting in the driveway, son!"), and bought a Lexcen CSi wagon (aka VP Commodore-cross). Dadda still not happy, despite a GM 3.6L V6 under the hood! Got rid of that. Along came the VZ and, though Dadda left us long before after a shocking illness, his niche at the graveyard proudly shows off a gleaming Holden lion logo. That's what he wanted.
But the future isn't so rosy, even to those with long memories, and those still with a penchant for tugging at the forelocks of romantic history.
