I know holden was thinking about getting these before, not sure why they didn't continue eg crash testing, costs, market demand
etc


But even for $60000 for a car that does 0-100 in 4.7 sec and handles very well I would buy one.


see ya

1 AUD = 38p at the moment ...

the SRi in the UK costs AUD$37k ... we get a pretty good deal on them here ...

I'd love a VX220 to park next to the SS, but I don't know if my fat arse would fit into one :(
