V8 or not, the VF Commodore looks like it was spawned by Hyundai... Estate is better if only because it doesn't have the rear lights from a Civic IMA... ::)

Ideal mid life crisis car :y

 mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Had that a few years ago but hey ho if I had the spare cash I would get it but maybe not in such a conservative colour.

Lime green or Sunburst yellow would do.

That way if you were deaf you would still be able to know it was coming :y :y
 

that's what nitro did, his is a nice lime green  :y

I like it, a lot. Would have to be the estate version though.

We have a dog now, and all the family should be able to feel the benefit of that many BHP. Selfish to keep it all to myself  ;D

Get on while you can as this will be the last lot of V8's to come from down under. Holden plant is shutting this summer, Ford i think has already shut. and there will be no more built.

Holden are also dropping the V8 engine as well and from what i've seen on V8 Super Cars site the next race car will be a space frame chassis with V6 twin turbo rwd with a new Insignia body shell crafted on but there will not be a RWD Insignia offered for sale

Finally some sense being spoken ;)

Best we can hope for is the 2.8 twin turbo with awd... if we're really well behaved, then we might get a sniff of the 3.6 awd, but there's more chance of the Lotus Carlton being rereleased ::)

Looks like they allowed a 10 year old to restyle a Ford Focus. Hideous.  ::)

Chevrolet Caprice be cheaper to buy and import... fit an early VXR8 interior and call it job done ;)

Yes it's a left hooker, but it is the fastest colour :D

$13k so that's about £10k in real money plus shipping, plus import. Cheaper to buy a monaro, or vxr8.

Would it tow your caravan Nige?   ;)

Is it rated to tow? Lexus you can't... but I'm guessing Aussies tow lot of stuff so no issues with pikey bar.
