It looks like they've gone into Autobarn and said to the kid behind the counter:

"I'LL TAKE ONE OF EVERYTHING!"

Then stuck it on the car with a UHU glue stick.

That rear end is atrocious, I bet the HSV boys are drooling/dribbling over this one.

Default Re: HSV GTS LSA lettuce tomato & special sauce on a sesame seed bun

there are 150 forward orders !!!!! and it goes on sale in Sept. !!! at $100k!!! Courier Mail 15/05/2013.
The new HSV GTS has become the fastest-selling model in the company’s 25-year history -- before the first one has even arrived at dealerships and before buyers even know the price.

HSV dealers across Australia are holding more than 150 paid deposits for the Commodore powered by a supercharged V8 borrowed from a racing version of the US Chevrolet Camaro. The early orders came in based purely on speculation about the new model, but this year’s allocation of GTS sedans is likely to sell out quickly now that official photos -- but not price -- have been released.
http://www.carsguide.com.au/news-and...ge?origin=hpc1


The new HSV GTS is expected to start at about $95,000 plus on-road costs, making it the second most-expensive Holden Commodore in the past 10 years (after the limited edition HSV W427 sold for $155,500 in 2008 and 2009). The last time a HSV GTS cost close to $100,000 was the Callaway V8-powered version from 2003, with an RRP of $97,500.

“This is the biggest response we’ve had for any HSV launch in our history,” said HSV director of sales and marketing boss Tim Jackson. “We’ve genuinely been overwhelmed by the reaction.” HSV GTS customers will need to be patient, however. Although the Clubsport, Maloo, Senator and Grange are due in showrooms in July, the first HSV GTS sedans are not due until late September.

HSV will sell more of these in a month than FPV will do theirs in a year.
FPV have a great engine and.......... that's about it.

I don't mind the look over all. At least they have a go at differentiating their high end models with more than just stripes.....

Liking HSVs shift towards subtle styling. Hard to beat GTE/F6E. But I'm sure it will look even better in person.
I lol at the hate. You know there is something wrong when a thread on a Hyundai or Euro handbag gets more likes than some world class Aussie muscle.
