I've pretty much loathed every (overrated) Holden since my first road registered car, which by chance was an LJ Torana, completed with a deformed steering wheel.
But pushed to make a choice, I would probably have to say a VE SS Sport wagon....... or VE series 1 GTS or R8. I can't hack the look of the latest HSV's with the POX ridden holes in the bonnet, and the ridiculous front bar. I've never really taken the the interiors. But I do think the first iteration of the VE HSV's are quite good looking rigs...... I also like the concept of a manual sport wagon. The Muscle car for dad's! If ford did a short wheel base wagon I"d be in there like a shot! |

A humble HQ Kingswood with the high comp. 253 and factory 4spd with all the options in any colour but red, I hate red.
A9X with the L34 running gear.

The only Holden I would buy is a VE SV6 and only on the provision I purchased it cheap enough to trade it on a real car the day after!

VE SS Sports wagon on factory lpg. Other than that, I think that the VZ is still the hottest modern Holden so an SS or HSV in that series would do just fine.

MY12 SS ute.. simply put.. its a sexier looking ute than the ford offerings..
has a tougher looking front end.. and you can make it a panelvan (kinda) with the right top.. and no silly splits between the cab and tray.. |

Hahahahaha ... going on experience ... Camiras were trouble-free if thrashed. It's the babied ones that had issues. I know this as I had one on P's ... abused from day one pretty much ... and it kept on going without issue. Ahhh memories of my first reverse-doughies on grass ... good times.
