If they are a new company I can understand using a FB page a starter platform. But I'd imagine you are well aware how easy it is to create a decent webpage any more.

I'll confess, as someone who spends much of his day investigating, reporting, and blocking compromised WordPress sites used to host phishing, malware, and C2; I kind of appreciate companies who work exclusively through Facebook. Although I also call them rather than use the platform.

BTW I just saw an article on Yahoo about how the stock markets are not reflecting the current mood of the general public. W.T.F.

This is what the GTO came from, this was a typical Aussie 4 door sedan.

Your "GTO" was just a coupe version they ran for a couple of years, basically same car, just less doors.

The Holden Australia brand ended up dying a prolonged death from mismanagement, same as Ford Australia

whenever someone says "americans and their stupid horsepower wars", australia has been like "hold mah beer" for the last 30 years.

that gen gto was an afterthought to the real aussie version!

Yea, unfortunately it just costs too much. They do great work though.
