No v8's at all in the holden range sadly. Until the Camaro comes down in about a year.
But you'll then have the same issues. Converted locally, not factory. (which as you know adds about 40k to the total cost)...
That's why the new first ever factory RHD Mustang is still selling like hotcakes ...
The only other v8 competition here in Aus is the Chrysler 300C mafia staff car. Holden, Chev missed out again. Too slow.

/Theist hat on.

Yes you do, physics is full of unfalsifiable claims disguised as theories!
We don't knock on your door to pester you.
Fallacy. Only a very small portion of religions do that.
We don't threaten anyone for any reason.
I don't either. But it is my God given right to remind people as often as necessary about the dark arts
We're definitely not after your money.
Neither am I as a customer ... Not my job to know the ins and outs of corporate finance.
We all pay business taxes.
I pay my personal taxes like everybody else.
We don't make promises we can't keep.
How do you know we can't keep them? Another Fallacy!
We try to make sense of the world around us before we can hypothesize about the one beyond our space/time.
Well God clearly lives somewhere. His voice just doesn't appear in our head like magic, derrr. We just look harder than you guys!
We are happy to change our mind on practically everything as science makes new discoveries.
So are we! Prove to me that God doesn't exist and I'll become an atheist there and then!

You seem to believe that atheists aren't worthy of love or knowledge. We are humanists. There's an atheist organization called Doctors Without Borders. Oftentimes, they take their medical expertise and donated supplies to go into dangerous areas to treat the sick and wounded. For free. If that isn't love and knowledge, then I don't know what is.

Prove there's something to actually ascend to. To do that, you'd have to prove the existence of a god. And you can't do that. No one can.
Quote:It neglects the justice and makes it impossible by denying everlasting - reward and punishment.
etc etc.
Again - you seem to think that Atheism is supposed to conform to religious ideals and beliefs. There are secular laws that deal with reward and punishment, all without the need for religion. Just because they aren't based upon a magical sky daddy, doesn't mean they are without justice.

1. Wrong. We love those around us. We love the beauty in the world. What we *don't* love is a made-up fantasy, because it just isn't important.
2. Wrong. Atheists do strive to improve themselves and help others. This is the *legitimate* way to 'ascend'. Not to imagine some great imaginary father figure.
3. Justice is a human activity. And yes, we strive to improve the workings of our very fallible justice systems. But we find it more important to deal with life and suffering here and now as opposed to some imaginary afterlife.
etc.etc.

Atheism undermines the values of Western liberal democracy, such as the existential equality of all human beings, human dignity, and inalienable rights.
