Turned it into a Hyundai >:(

Chevrolet version is much better looking...

Yes they are the same basic car, built in the same factory...

The estate looks a bit better, as Holden couldn't tweak it much beyond the original, thankfully...

 :y :y

£55k for that ?? !!
Yup :'( Bloody onanists >:( although, to be fair to the tissues, it is the full fat 576bhp from the factory.

Makes that £35k grey one look quite nice ::)

Import the Chevvy version for £30k and spend another £10k on the engine... an instant £15k saving 8)

Externally, Just changed the bumpers and skirts, same as they always do.

Front is ok, but they've dropped a clanger at the back. :(

If you're going to import a left hooker from The States, I can think of better cars to buy to be honest.  ;)

Why o why do people want to buy cars from spanky land?
go and buy from down under, steering wheel on the proper side for a start.,speedo might be in the foreign, but that's minor.
