I was getting ready to comment 'Every time a video is titled 'I bought a sports car' instead of the car's actual name, you know it's going to be a Miata.' Good stuff.

Z3 and mx-5 are like same class or size, but I say this off the top off my mind that the Z3 probably has higher power with higher petrol consumption in the same generation mx-5(im assuming).Magnificent car, definitely would drive one if I'm ever lucky enough.Great video.

This is a fantastic video. You have modified this Commodore very tastefully. Would you be able to put a list of the mods somewhere? Exhaust, cold air intake etc. Excellent stuff 👌

Thank you! I really wanted to keep it simple and sweet. Mods are as far as X-Force 2.5" exhaust with 1 5/8" headers, Harrop OTR intake with MAF, engine tune and more recently some SL King Springs.

The VE Commodore was imported to North America and sold as a Pontiac G8. The best Pontiac in a long time. In 2010, GM of Detroit canceled Pontiac brand. Sadly, it couldn't save a classic American brand either.

A mix of government and management. Detroit management that was too interfering? Seems so. They want to cheapskate and have world car platforms. Note of those European takeover of the old GM brands are doing well now? Sad. Sad there's no more Aussie Ford. Too much to restart holden as your own gig?

Holden used to export L/H cars up until HQ. No money left for engineering a L/H model after the completely new HQ body in 7 different versions. LAST aussie design. Kraut dunnydores from then on. 9:44

It's taxes, and we pay far more than just 10% GST. You see here in Australia we tax stack, for example if we make a car tyre the rubber, kevlar and steel makers must all pay GST on the sale of these items, they pass this cost to the manufacturer then the Australian manufacturer makes the tyre, sells it to the wholesaler and charges GST, plus the price mark up from the raw goods supplier. Finally they sell to the retailer charging GST and the price mark up for the extra costs of everything else. Finally the consumer buys the tyre and they are indirectly paying the kevlar, steel, rubber, manufacturers, wholesalers GST, then of course the 10% GST on the item, that is why stuff costs so much, not to mention the massive taxes on the diesel for the trucks that move these goods. That example is just one tyre, how many different goods go into a car? Towards the end of Holden's life, a new Holden cost as much as a low level BMW or Mercedes, and did not have even half the luxury. No one wanted a Holden. How we could have saved Holden: we should have marketed the Holden Ute to the US under the El Camino badge. The Americans have been screaming out for a new El Camino since 1987 when they ceased production.

The Chevrolet cruzes in america are absolute Garbage. You fix one coolant leak and one starts somewhere else. I am American but I don't buy American cars anymore. The Car companies here are lazy and cheap and only want to rebadge something or build it in Mexico. Gm's Trucks are good, interiors are garbage across the board and the cars are pitiful. Dodge's are pretty awful they are throw away cars. The absolute worst is Ford. I didn't grow up a Chevy person, I have owned lile 50 cars of all types of brands. I did't hate Ford until I started working on them. I will walk before I own a Ford. I could write a book on their stupidity and the people that own them get bent over by them and just keep asking for more. I will say when we got your Holden rebadged as a GTO I could tell that they were made better and the materials were nicer. I always looked at the first VIN number to see what country it was made in and all the ones that had 6 were made better.

I was given a Ford econoline van in the US. Several years old. Working on it was like sticking your hands into a grinding machine. Always bit back hard. Eventually the front frame and chassis had severe rust and missing sections of steel. Never touched a ford since.

The Efijy is a pretty slick looking car. GM brought the Monaro and Commodore to N/A as the Pontiac GTO and G8 but not for long. The bail out of 2008 brought the axe down on the Pontiac division.
