Mitsubishi 380 VRX Road Test

The 1970s Holden HQ was an entirely Holden developed car, from the chassis, to the engine, to the interior and the suspensions. Earlier cars were modified Chevrolets, later cars modified Opels. So it is not quite true that Holden has no experience developing the chassis architecture themselves.

Im talking experience at creating modern day arcitectures...the 70s was a while ago

Gm has faith in them...

Damn right! In all but name, those grouse old Kingswoods were as aussie as football, meat pies etc

Interesting .. would that also apply to the various bigger Vauxhalls, eg like '56 PB Cresta and FD Victor/Ventora? Would Holden EJ-HG still rightly be considered a 'developed' pre-war Chevrolet Cadet? Or from Chevy II? Or local in its own right?

I'll add the word "often" before modified. I'd forgotten the Vauxhall connection.

One could say that Holden are inexperienced when it comes to developing the architectures...its their first time right? Ford Oz develops all thier own falcon architectures, so their experience might give them the edge in 2007 with the orion falcon...


Lets dig back up those pictures....

Technically yes and no, There is a blade control system on the focus so it could be a base off that what the Falcons IRS is maybe?.
But you cant have a 4 speed auto and just ad 2 gears and it's a 6 speed it's a little harder then that. If anyone gets what i mean
Anyway here is a better pic of the VE.

Damn that looks nice..dual pipes...me drewls...

Did u scan them urself, or did u get em from another site...cos i want more!! were there more or was that it??

I think its safe to say that the VE looks more like the next falcon than the next commodore...if u get wat im saying. The front and rear are very falcon to me.

Theyre both control blade IRS setups, which is also used on the Jag X-type i believe, but the Falcon was the first large, RWD Ford to use it.

Yep like i said you can have 1 thing in name that's the same, But another with the same name can be so totally different worlds apart in the end.




Yep i got them pics from LS1 i think.
