Australia's new OMEGA (commodore) HSV
« on: 14 April 2008, 15:50:04 »
I was talking to my brother yesterday and he sent me some pic's of the new Holden Commodore HSV which is Australia's new "omega", now to say i am jealous is an understatement. Just wondered what everyone thinks to it? For sale in OZ for the equivalent of £28,500 GBP

The Holden version is not to bad but, the VXR8 has got bonnet vents and extra 'bolt on bob' style bits that ruin it.....

But a 7.0  570Bhp monster.......that could look as ugly a Subaru Impreza and I wouldn't mind!

can't say i'm a fan of this car... outside anyway. it looks like the bastard offspring of a late 90s astra or something. but made of lego.
