In October of this year, the Australian-made 2016 Holden Cruze SRi Z-Series will ride quietly into the sunset for the last time, joined by the 56-year old Ford Falcon and soon to be followed by the Cruze’s bigger brother, the Holden Commodore. The Cruze doesn’t have the same passionate and […]

2016 HSV Clubsport R8 review (video)
It started life as a humble Aussie icon. Now, the HSV Clubsport sits in the market as one of the most powerful production sedans in the world. Isn’t it a shame the MY2016 is going to be the last model ever? Yep, as you’ve probably heard, Holden Australia is closing […]
2016 Holden Commodore SS V Redline VF II review (video)
This is it, folks. The last ever Australian-made high-performance Commodore; the 2016 Holden Commodore SS V Redline VF II. This is the Commodore that we should be most proud of. Holden will cease local manufacturing next year – if not sooner – which means the humble Commodore as we know […]
2016 Holden Commodore SV6 Sportwagon VFII review (video)

Despite Opel’s best efforts to move metal in Australia the European manufacturer pulled out of the market after a short-lived stint from 2012 to 2013, leaving Holden an opportunity to obtain some of its vehicles. Built by GM’s European Opel brand in Germany, the Holden Insignia VXR enters the market […]
2015 Holden Cascada 1.6T review (video)
“Cascada. What the hell is that?” This was the reaction from a passerby as we drove out from a shopping centre in western Sydney. It was interesting to see he jumped into an overcooked 2000-something Holden Commodore and yet seemed confused by the Holden badge on this. (You can replace […]
2015 Holden Astra VXR review (video)
Holden has entered the super hatch segment and now holds the current record for offering the most powerful front-wheel drive on the local market. Introducing the 2015 Holden Astra VXR. You might recognise the curvacious hatch from a couple of years ago. And you’d be correct for assuming it to […]
