As a ‘Holden man’ since 1968, I really don’t know, I have to factor in my age, and the impending probability of not being able to drive fast long distances any more.
Currently, as much as I would like a ‘last of the real Holdens’, I just can’t get excited about a VF, the styling doesn’t appeal, and the electronic-gizmo-confusion is way beyond my old school ways. Geez, they don’t even have a CD player any more. And my Mk1 Ford Zephyr had push-button start.
A VE Calais Redline would be welcome in the garage, but not at the expense of the Monaro, or Crewman, or even the Territory.
Mustang, no way...Camaro, butt ugly ..... BMW 4 series or Merc coupe or Jag, yes please, but $$!! ...... something with a Holden badge....not likely.
So when age and reality bite, a small Kia or similar econobox, non-turbo with a torque converter auto.
