    That's a saving of almost $5,000 on the $44,990 sticker price (plus on-road costs of course). That's not bad at all. I assume its a 2005 plate car. No doubt, like many manufacturers/dealers at the moment, Holden is trying to clear all its 2005-compliance stock. Which means great savings. Probably a good time of the year to buy a new car.
    UCP's biggest Ford Sierra RS500 and BMW M3 E30 fan. My two favourite cars of all time.

    Not that i don't like a V8.. But a 6 i have always liked... The $40,000 VE Calais caught my eye more then the Berlina.
    So i done it up Slick style.. I'll take that.

    They are cheap enough for anyone too buy now, If it's a choice more people seem too like the SV6 and up models. I would skip omega and get the Berlina, Then i would skip the berlina and get the calais

    Go under the skin and youll be stressed to find a similarity.

    Well i think your useing the term enthusiest a bit loosely there all considering they are so biased it aint funny

    True but its still an improvement over some of the optioned up VZs.
