I have never understood Australia’s fascination with sun visors. Visors like that seem to look look good in round cars of 50's but for me they look very weird in 80's cars.

I think the popularity of the VL amongst those who still like these cars (ie. those who want to rip skids) killed the VK off early. I’ve had a few VKs in my life.

thankfully you don’t see them now, but with a car like this being used on long family trips when newish they make a difference.

It looks so similar to an Opel Ascona, I wonder why they didn’t just slap a new badge on the Opel and call it a day

the Opel build doesn’t last long enough on Australian roads (seriously)

when they first started testing the Commodore, they drove hard over outback roads to see how long they lasted, and it was only a matter of minutes before they failed.

the Holden engineers set up measuring equipment for stress on panels, did the tests sent the results to Opel, Opel said you did it wrong the results are off the charts, holden did it again, same result, Opel engineers came out set up the equipment only to discover Holden did it right the first time.

They don’t last too long here either :)

That is awesome! Although they could have just sent a picture of the roads as feedback to the first reject :)

I’ve never owned one. But they’ve been in my life, like any good Australian.

Lucky you, shit!
