I call myself a Holden fan, my first 2 cars were Holdens, but the 3 subsequent cars were not, and the next one wouldn't have been either.
I wear the merch and follow the racing and would have killed for a HSV in the shed, but real life dictated a smaller more economical car, and Holden really never consistently offered a car like the Golf GTIs I've driven now for 14 years.
I'm sad Holden is lost, I think the Federal Government was the catalyst if not the cause.
I think even if Abbott hadn't yanked the chain a couple of years ago today would have come, and those like me who say they love Holden but never bought one lately, have to take our medicine.
I have rented and enjoyed V8 Commodores in various guises but one never suited me for a primary car.
