Back in the 90's the Commodore and (Ford) Falcon were just everyday family cars. Australia from the 60's through to the 2000's had an affinity for the "Big 6's" (as in cylinders) and there was a massive rivalry between Holden and Ford. The V8 became the performance option from late in the 60's.

Land Yachts to us are more the big American cars. We're about to partly inherit a '65 Chevrolet Bel Air. That thing is a land yacht!
In our driveway in recent months we've had my two S8's, the family XC90, a Nissan GQ Patrol, and a Nissan GU Patrol. They are all large cars. The 65 Chev is bigger than all of them!

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
