Holden VE Commodore named best Australian-built car in history

[HK1837]

I had one of the very last VS's, built late in 2000. It was a pretty good thing and nice and cheap too. But was only a V6 and had a crappy Getrag box, still towed better than the VY SS that I replaced it with.
I have yet to drive a VE that drives as nice as my old V2 CV8 either. Closest in feel that I have found is a Ford G6E, except much less power out of the Ford.

Those G6E Turbo's go like the clappers! They are a pretty damn good alround car! Luxurious, comfortable, quiet, all leather interior all the mod cons that you could want and then the brutal power of the turbo 6 :D
The only bad part is that (I think..) you can't get them in manual :(

do you rate the T5 better than the Getrag?
