Has anyone seen the new Wheels mag early? It comes out this wednesday but I can not wait for it. If any one has seen it can you post the times the BA XR8 does also is there a comparison betweem the SS and XR8. Thanks

are you going to do this every month?

just wait until it comes out like all of us has to do

Some of us are right in the middle of purchasing an XR8. Reviews are of particular interest to us right now.

There are some insiders here on this Forum that seem to get Wheels and Motor details early. There's no harm in asking.

If there are insiders who get early info I haven't seen or heard about it...
I am looking at a XR8 but will wait like the rest of the world.

Maybe you should become friends with a person at a magazine shop then you could ge tit a day early maybe!

I ask the person at the shop and they say they get it that day like 8:30 am. I am asking because some people get the mag 2 days early and I want an XR8 review.

Drove an XR8 last week,acid rush,460,manual.......it goes like the clappers. Only 45k on the clock,so didn't open it right up.
Nice note..not as good as the ute in the ad...however more than the AU2/3.
Handling excellent,driver comfort excellent,vision..still the A pillar problem/rear view mirror problem but to a lesser degree..the mirror seems to have been raised a bit. all in all a huge improvement over the last model.

Thanx for the review, i am too waiting to here times of the XR8, as i believe it could be the only way to get people to realise that the weight may not play that bigger roll!
