    Did Holden lie about the power output for the LFX V6?

    I know the title sounds delusional and I don't really believe this claim either but I'm currently in a debate on the YouTube comments section where this guy is telling me that the LFX in the Commodores supposedly has 240kw like the Camaro, but Holden advertised it with 210kw to meet the...

    Hey guys, I'm in the market for another car and I'm considering a manual Holden Ute... My question is whether these cars drive differently than a regular Commodore?

    The new rig

    Ever since I sold my 1000HP VY Ecotec which I acquired with $15,000 in the boot, I was looking for something smaller, more fuel efficient and luxurious while being very powerful...

    Hello fellow Holden enthusiasts, I was scrolling through Carsales and came across a VU SS, but it wasn't a normal SS...

    VT Commodore Vs AU Falcon

    Hi guys, I'm asking an age old question here but which car do you think is better... Obviously the VT looks much better but I seem to be seeing more AU's on the road these days... Could it be that the P-Platers and Bogans have destroyed the VT's or are they just less reliable?

    Question about cars

    QUESTION: While scrolling through carsales.com.au, I've noticed that Euro cars seem to usually have less kilometres than Japanese or Australian cars of the same age (around 10 to 15 years old)... Is this because they've been spending more time in the workshop, been driven less, or just plain fraud?
