Awesome cars caught on my cam

When I do have my camera with me and there is an opportunity to take shots, I take a lot of photos of the cars that fascinate me. Though these represent not even a tenth of what i saw, these machines arouse my enthusiasm for cars.

This is one aspect I love about Australia, seeing these magnificent cars running on the road. It always makes me wonder what Australia can offer for us migrants and how possible it is to get and drive our very own dream cars.

Most Common Cars in Australia



During our one year stay in Australia as migrants. I've noticed what cars Aussies use. I listed it base on their visibility on the road.

1. Holden Commodore / Ute
2. Ford Falcon / Focus / Territory
3. Toyota Camry / Corolla
5. Mitsubishi Lancer / Magna
6. Mazda 626/ 6 and 3 series
7. Toyota Rav4 / Land Cruiser / Hilux
7. Subaru Impreza/ Forrester
8. Nissan Pulsar / Skyline
9. Holden Astra/ Barina / Captiva / Statesman
10. Volkswagen Passat / Golf

These cars are common on the road. I personally did not know Holden as a brand of a car until I came here in Australia. Holden is actually General Motors. In the country where I came from, we got different names from how some cars are called here in Australia. Australia's Holden Astra and Holden Captiva are called Opel Astra and Chevrolet Captiva, respectively, for some countries. Australia branded some Isuzu cars with its very own Holden like Isuzu Trooper and Isuzu pick up which are both known as Holden Jackaroo and Holden Rodeo. Though Holden is not really famous in other countries, I must admit that I fell in love with its Commodore. It's design is very good both on exterior and interior. I would love to get one of this commodore and to see it parked in our garage one of these days.
