    Oky Oz that HZ diff is to exclusive for maz you better keep it for HZ people and wb, if Holden couldn't afford to supply you people with better handling then it is your fault the consumer because you were too tight to pay for handling, this makes one wonder if HZ was the top of the tree in hd to wb anyway I'am expecting some replays to this post

    WB ute is my favourite because they had all the modern updates such as tail lights, modern front, blue motors and the Kingswood had the big moldings up the side. I always hated the earlier side moldings as they looked like a left over from the HK/t/g parts bin.
    As for GTS and Sandmans, well hard to compete when Holden got wimpy and deleted them. Hang on, funny how they deleted GTS and Sandman BUT kept building the WB Kingswood. That clearly shows that only the best survived into the 80's to take the battle to Ford.
    All repeat after me, WB is clearly king!

    Thats the first time I've heard a blue motor called "modern".:Chin: As per the shoutbox discussion yesterday about Torana's, WB is just like UC. They're the retarded younger sibling of otherwise great family's. People would look at them and go "Oh my god, what have we done. We better stop now before things get really out of hand." And so they did. The models were both ended right then and there.

    HZ and WB along with A9X/UC were certainly the best driving cars, not sure if i'd equate a HZ commercial with "good" handling, drive one of these and then drive a HK GTS327 or HT-HG GTS350M and you'll know about a handling earlier Holden, but certainly awesome compared with HQ-HX!

    Taking a wider view: the Kingswood name started in HK. But the base model WB, ie the HOLDEN, started in 1948 with the 48/215. Yes it dissapeared for a long time once the standard and special names appeared but made a comeback in HQ on the 1-tonner and then furthermore in HJ on the utes and vans. It dissapeared again at the end of WB (around January 1985) and made a comeback on the VG ute circa 1990, and it was still around until it got canned for the Omega name in VE.
