In this episode of Regular Car Reviews, we dive into the world of the 2005 Holden Berlina, a wagon that doesn't scream luxury but quietly exudes competence. Powered by a 3.6L V6 engine, this Australian gem is all about towing power and reliability, akin to the Ford Taurus but with a touch of Down Under flair. The Berlina, a spin-off of the Commodore, offers a unique blend of practicality and understated luxury, perfect for those who value substance over show.

As we take a closer look at the Berlina, we uncover its distinctive features like the push bar, a nod to the Australian landscape teeming with wildlife encounters. From deer to kangaroos, this wagon is prepared for any outback adventure. Despite not being a speed demon, the Berlina hints at a promising future for affordable luxury wagons, a segment often overshadowed by SUVs in today's market.

However, the decline of Holden and General Motors serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by traditional automakers in an ever-evolving industry. With production costs soaring and a lack of foresight, these once-iconic brands struggle to adapt to changing consumer preferences. The Berlina stands as a testament to a bygone era of sensible motoring, where practicality and reliability reigned supreme.
