I meant collectable stuff, not modern. GMH built a lot of collectable cars after 1972 ie late XU-1, L34, A9X and the Group A homologation cars too from VK-VN (yes some aren't GMH vehicles but very closely related). Plus very collectable other stuff too like HQ and HJ GTS coupes. Ford Australia didn't do much you'd want to own after the XA RPO83. I think this greater pool of performance and collectable cars in the GMH stable is the reason Ford blokes go nuts after one or two series.
I'm with you on not wanting Commodores, I don't like them either. I think i've only ever owned one, and old VH 173 4spd I bought when my HJ ute got written off to see me through until I found another ute. Although I think my VSIII S pack ute might have had a Commodore badge. None of the others have been Commodores though: VY SS ute, VZ Cross 8 and V2 Monaro. I do have to find a replacement for the V2 for my mrs next year and I cannot bring myself to buy a Commodore 4 door. If I wanted a 6cyl family car today I don't think you can go past the current Ford XR6 or G6E. There is no way you'd comtemplate a V8 Ford today though. I might have to buy her a Calais to avoid the Commodore name!

It all comes down to how rare they are. Not many made, people want them for their exclusiveness. Any connection to racing ups the "I want" factor.

Holden V8's sound different to Chev and Ford due to their different firing order I believe. I agree they have a heaps better sound than either of those other two.
