The funny thing is that the AU Falcon was 100% Australian designed and manufactured. Nothing was sourced from overseas. It was all here.
So essentially the majority of people, and all those Holden die hards, are saying that Australians are **** at making cars
I'll give the AU one thing though, they were effective as a taxi. The were, in all honesty, very reliable if taken care of.
On another note, I'm driving my dad's GENIII powered Calais atm (same motor as SS Commodore). I drove it until it was nearly bone dry and filled it up yesterday. It took 70.11 litres (in a 60 litre tank... lawl) and cost $110.
Pros: Uber in a straight line when you plant your foot down.
Cons: Like I stated previously in another thread, when you come to a corner the car turns into a retard. The steering is clunky and you can't feel the road as well as you can in something like the Stivo. I hate the way it handles personally. It's like a 'DUHHHH I'M TURNING INTO A CORNER!' feeling. That's what happens when you have a big motor up front I guess.
Oh and yeah, then there's the fact that it costs $100 to fill.
