but most blokes think of their car as an extension or expression of themselves

I mean I don't really see my car as a pet or an expression, but I don't see it as a tool either

my car for me is a source of pleasure

thus I look after it to maintain that

even the cars I've had that were boring to drive

they still provided access to things that were otherwise prohibitively expensive or difficult without a car

and so I made sure I looked after them

How Logical

yeah I can see that

I could see the Stinger being a good car.

Plus commodores and falcons arent made anymore anyway

The only Aussie Cop car needed

😍

Oi m8, She's a beaute! Last of the Falcon v8s!

I'd kill for a falcon xbgt coupe

What I'd kill for, personally, is an America-sold Ranger with a turbo Barra in it.

Preferrably with a 6 or 7 speed manual

We need something to fill the hole left by the Syclone, damnit.

Nah, we don't pussy foot around with that 6cyl nonsense anymore. 5.0 or bust

The last time we had a V8 in a medium/small pickup truck, we had the bullshittery that was the 5.3L Canyon.

Let's not do that again.

V8s are great...for muscle cars and big trucks

lol we don't even have L6's stateside anymore.

Not American made, but we do have them

And not in trucks, I admit

Well, yeah, BMW

BMW's six bangers are all L6s

Even their diesels

Mercedes' new 6 cylinder is gonna be an L6 too, IIRC

Also the Ram 2500 diesel is an L6

A big one

GM has a new 6cyl 3.0 diesel

Yeah, we love our Cummins lol

That's an inline? Huh, didn't know that.

I thought for sure they'd go V6 like FCA and Ford.

Nope! 😄

Cuz that's mainly what those guys do now when it comes to trucks: copy each other.

GM's 2.7T 4 cylinder is probably the newest idea any of the Big Three have had for trucks in years

Yeah, I'm hesitant about that. Maybe in commercial vans, or as a base option in the Camaro lol

Tiny 4bangers don't belong in trucks
