Alright, let's talk about Holden in the Forza universe. You might not be as familiar with them as some other big names, but Holden is a pretty cool Australian car manufacturer that's made its mark, especially in the *Motorsport* and *Horizon* series. They're even slated to show up in the upcoming *Forza Horizon 6*! A Little History Holden has a long history, starting way back in the 1850s as a leather business. They got into car bodies in the early 1900s, and by 1931, General Motors bought them out, forming General Motors-Holden's. They really hit their stride in 1948 with the Holden 48-215, nicknamed the FX. It was a massive hit and really put Holden on the map as "Australia's Own Car." By 1978, they introduced the Commodore, which became a best-seller in Australia. You'll also find their high-performance variants, made by Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), which are built to compete in V8 supercar racing.
