    It's a shame most of the W1's end up just sitting in garages with the factory km's on them 🙄

    As a Ford fan, this is a sad sight to see knowing Australian made vehicles will be no more.

    I'm a Ford Man and drive an FGX XR8 although I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The W1 is an impressive car and it's very sad to see both Ford and Holden stopping local production. :(

    To my Australian brothers, Thanks for making these great Holden Commodores. Sorry to tell you that all the presses, welding and ancillary machines have now been shipped from your Holden factory in Elizabeth SA to our GM Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly where the new Chevy SS will be built in 2021 with a minor cosmetic makeover from the 2017 model which was built in Australia. In years to come it is possible that these amazing cars will be exported back to Australia from the USA. How mixed up is this? I have driven the Chevy SS and I believe it to be the best 4 door car ever built in the world with its 415hp LS3 V8. Take care.., David Matherson

    If you think HSV is just bodykits and decals.... It is now 😂😂

  • @deanshelfer8578

    GM killed off all right hand drive vehicles they owned.. they sold off Vauxhall in the uk, Saab etc etc. market was too small for their corporate greed 😢

    As a Kiwi, I grew up learning to drive the Holden Kingswood wagon. Ever since then all my cars have been Aussie built beasts. Commodores & Falcon.

    Still want one. Never used to, but assumed they’d be around when I was ready. RIP Holden.

    I know what those HSV workers feel. The passion, and motivation to help build such a beautiful and historic piece of machinery. I hope that I someday get the opportunity to see one of these in person. Great video, thank you!

    Gotta say though when you buy a HSV brand new, you can take a tour of the factory in Clayton, join the HSV club and you can get to race it at Phillip island and sandown only time trial racing.

    My Tickford enhanced T series has a signed hand built motor. Not quite the HP this beast has though. I have to admit as a Ford man. These are a beautiful piece of machinery.
