    Not many Australian cars are built with Automatic transmissions, The companys know we Australians prefer Manual.

    We are like America in the sense that we use Automatics for Police cars though.

    Here's some NZ straya for ya, my driveway here(Yes I know, a lot of vehicles, there still another truck in the garage), and in the background my neighbors Maloo, it's pretty nice. ;) And a hidden Ford behind the fence, the Ford on the left side is me mums m8.

    Fun fact: The WRX owns my mums Ford down the highway

    We also raced my little green Toyota Carina against my brothers Mazda Familia Neo, I won ofc ;)

    A left hand drive Holden just looks un-natural.
    Correct

    "straya" = "austraya" = "australia"

    Oh, I fucked up there :p Was meaning to say Left hand drive.
    And yeah, Straya is something kiwis made up because that's how it sounds when people with deep Aussie accents say "Australia". I'll admit when I say it, it does sound like "Austraya"

    They're both automatics, so they're both incorrect regardless of wheel position.

    Auto is for luxury, Manual is for fun. If I ever got a Holden Statesman I would get it in Auto so I could just relax.
    Also on that note, HDT do statesmans too

    Out of all the cars in that picture, the hilux is my favorite, followed closely by the WRX. I have a strange taste in cars.

    Yes. Well built and reliable. :)
    I ain't hating on american car makers (&holden), but you can't really deny that Japanese cars are well built. :\
