Vauxhall VXR8

[jediali]

So this pommie slag reckons we aussies have no finesse eh? All brawn and no brain hmm??

I'll give this snotty bitch some fulking aussie finesse! Like what's the problem with Vicki's mouth? Yeah ok she's out of synch there in the vid, but why the droopy mouth and flapping lips, the slurring and the spittle? We've got to be talking cerebral stroke here (ie damaged brain) or maybe she's just come out of major dental surgery and the anasthesia hasn't worn off yet (ie non-fuctional brawn)

Either way, it's a bit rich of this pretentiously perfect Mz Vicki to lecture us 'colonials' from on high about the refined art of finesse, while she herself is talking out the side of those rubber-girl lips and all the while producing enough spittle literage to out-lubricate Jamie Oliver

plus she sounds like shes swallowed a sack of gravel!

Yeah, asking my Dad about buying one of these he said no becuase it had Vauxhall on it. He'd rather another Audi... I'll try Mum.

Do I need to make a counting of all the posts in which you wrote the words "Dad" and "Audi" like I did with Drakkie for the words "uncle" and "Iso Grifo"?

And you didn't agree with him? That's strange...

I want one Too bad it's yet another fine car we won't see in the states

If it can handle an LS2, then it can handle an LS7

Yes you will. It's called the Pontiac G8.

[Zytek_Fan]

The Pontiac G8 looks like crap.

Altough that's better than no Commodore at all I guess...

Yes, but like the transition we had, where the car was unchanged apart from some badges, the Pontiac may well be toned down... remember what happened last time?

Yeah...if the front end on the G8 didn't have to have that "trademark" Pontiac grille, and a bit more like the VXR8 it'd be good. The G8 isn't THAT bad though...

I will agree that the GTO isn't the best facelifted car in the world, in fact it's rubbish. However as I said before that's still better than no aussie muscle car at all...

True, but it wasn't just the cosmetic differences- they moved the petrol tank so it was above the rear wheels, so when the tank got less full it would significantly change the car's handling... like a pendulum, so to speak. Not good. Also, the US model was significantly softer-sprung, and higher- just look at it compared to the (amazing) VXR500.

Britain and Australia got the same models well the blower is purely aftermarket here i guess....huge aftermarket for the LS1/2
well apart from the coupe 4, and nobody ended up getting the GTSR

pontiac also stuck the tiny 17inch wheels off the base model commodore on it, making it look ridiculous
iirc the oem holden suspension are popular orders through pontiac, and some americans have bought enough bits to completely change the GTO back to the monaro

But the fuel thank relocation was also made in the Vauxhall at least, and maybe in the Holden too with the facelift and the 6-litre engine.
