They should start making these exact cars again just to annoy our new prime-minister.

@MattTheSaiyan - Well, no - she's a bogan, so she'd love it...

[DJBJ24]

holden should leave the name to rest unless they are going to build a decent car apart from the commodore these days. no car they build these days will ever live up to the torana name

Brocky drove a Mint Julep LX Sedan, COOL!

[FreeSpeechSmuggler]

Radial Tuned Suspension took the plough through understeer fun out of early Holdens but they didn't tame the beast until they finally stuck an independant rear end on the things about a decade later. Still, thanks Brocky for supplying the magic.

There is only one Brocky...

@Antifaith29 The Ascona was only a starting point. Inside and out, suspensions, engines, transmissions were all changed, until the only things they have in common are a few rudimentary physical similarities

@DJBJ24 Or the gemini name.

@Conniptions886 she's not even a bogan because she's the most unAustralian cunt alive, she's just a fascist ranga

[JBofBrisbane]

@Antifaith29 - Rebadged? Or restyled noticably? I am willing to believe the floorpan and suspension are Opel, but I haven't seen too many Asconas with taillights like the Torana.
