I always thought they drove ut's (ewts).

It's a 'ute' or you'd call it a utility. And no, we don't all drive them, only people who need them for work tend to. As for my favourite car, dunno, I don't pay much attention to cars except for if I see something nice while I'm riding to/from school or just about.

I don't think I'll be going for my license too soon, not with our new **** house P plater laws.

Australian cars are the some of the worst cars in the world. I have a 97 falcon and I have spent more on repairs then I paid for the car!

You are the fool who bought an EF. For that, I say you are a fool.

:rolleyes: I knew there would have to be some smart-arse

Some people would think you are the fool for starting this thread, that you think there are good 'Australian' cars

I am guessing you are referring to yourself ;)

All car makers have a few bad eggs, I have a '76 fairmont and it is stilling running fine, never had ANY problems with it.

Germans and Italians build the best cars, so no need to compare and contrast Aussie cars.

Maybe in the past. In recent years, Benz, VW, and Audi have been some of the crappiest cars made. Much, much worse than any American or Korean car, based on reliability ratings.

Personally I think his statement is just fanboish and stupid in a thread about Australian cars. I have not seen one tough European car... ever.

Australia's car lovers like big, fast, tough cars that look good.

- Falcon - Big, Fast, Looks

- Commodore - Big, Fast, Looks

Forever... they have always been like that.

I have an old VL Holden Commodore.

I think they were Built around 1986. :unsure:

Only major repair I have had done is a new Gearbox with a few minor engine repairs here and there.

So I would have to say that Holden would be the Best built cars.

My Father is on his 5th (Yes 5th) Ford in 6 years.

My old man's a mechanic, he used to work for RACQ, and has told me, Commodores are one of the worst cars on the road.

He now works on Falcons all day, everyday, and hasn't got a bad thing to say about them.

In cars though, its really how you look after them.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!

      Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
