By gaycarboys - Alan Zurvas|2017-03-10T14:01:11+11:00January 10th, 2017|Holden Reviews|0 Comments

We loved Astra at its recent local launch. Read about it here (including prices and specs). Sometimes, the razzmatazz and fancy footwork of a launch doesn’t translate well to daily use.

By gaycarboys - Alan Zurvas|2017-03-10T14:23:04+11:00May 27th, 2016|Holden Reviews|0 Comments

Insignia, late of Opel fame, now a Holden You may all remember the delectable Insignia from her brief 12-month stint as part of the ill-fated Opel nameplate.

Holden’s SV6 Commodore Wagon: an SUV alternative.

By gaycarboys - Alan Zurvas|2023-10-25T13:04:31+11:00May 24th, 2016|Holden Reviews|0 Comments

Since the government killed off local manufacturing, Holden and Ford have made their final local models sparkle. Commodore comes loaded with techy gear even in the second bottom model.
