Why SSBUB loves holden...
I just think of the VK Brocky drove around all those years ago The VL Walkinshaw with that insane amount of body kit making it almost comically awkward The step up to the VN's, VP's saw a change in not only engine but for that time of year, refinement VR/VS with the ecotec being introduced to the latter and its sleek design VT/VX disgraced the opposition remarkably through looks alone...the gen3's, providing you get a good donk, is cheap and easy to upgrade and will blow away much of your competition for speed VY/VZ - are cars that grow on you...didnt like them at first (more the VY) but the SS versions look good... VE - who knows What turned me off Ford: XD/XE/XF years - big heavy slow EA/EB etc - a step up considerably and didnt mind them at the time EL etc years - Ford turned ugly....looked good from the front, rear looked shocking AU - took the step of ugly to another level on their base models particularly...just looked like bubbles/space cars to me...and couldnt like them from appearance alone BA/BF Range - Finally something right....looks good, love the bonnet bulge and menacing stance, particularly from the front - with the new auto and boss engines as well as the best turbo on the market in the xr6t, its something ford needed. Now balance these up and thats why i love Holden.....Ford had some shonky designs in my impressionable youth and Holden took the honours when i was getting serious into cars (VS-VT era) But i wouldnt mind seeing how an xr6t or xr8 goes of the current model...my car has been edited so i would like to drive an xr6t/xr8 of around 280 odd fwkwto see how they go.
