would make a nice alternative to the top end HSV's if sold here, although no-one would buy one.

In the review that I saw where they compared it to an E63 and such it was actually supposed to have a better ride, though slightly worse turn in than the E63. And the interior is actually pretty good from my experience. It's not an E63 but as has been mentioned 30 grand has got to get you something.Originally Posted by TheScrutineer

Stick a BMW or Benz badge on it though and boom.

Good point!
A woman goes to the doctor to figure out why she is having breathing problems...The doctor tells her she is overweight. She says she wants a second opinion...the doctor says, "your ugly".

What did they end up preferring? What other cars were in the comparison?

That's the thing that annoysme so much about some of this. It does a lot of things better than the cars that it's competing with, but no one gives it any respect because it's a GM. People either want German or Japanese, depending on the crowd, and won't consider stuff from other places as anything other than rubbish.

Or just give it an HSV body.

The Cadillac CTS-V looks better than an E55 AMG or a BMW M5. It has an unusual beauty to it. Its really a rare american eye candy and it stands out in the crowd in terms of looks and sound, better than any Charger or Camarro out there. I have been unable to get the picture of the CTS-V out of my mind. It has really stuck. I feel like making love to the CTS-V. Have i morphed into an automotive whore? I thought Nissan was my first mistress.

don't forget all those all important HSV spoilers & scoops & air dams & ground effects along with the HSV 'limited edition' badge they all seem to wear. what about some 'exclusive' HSV merchandise, like a dumb looking sports jacket barely suitable for bad taste teenagers?
can't have the HSV buyer going off half cocked now can we?

it might be the biggest bogan wagon of the bunch, but it's still bogan.

What suprised me most is the two pictures that were posted in the "Best looking saloon" thread. From one year to the other the car had simply been riced to an embarrassing degree. Now, I usually don't care much about how a car looks if it drives well, but I wouldn't want to be seen in that Commodore...

Yeah, I was impressed at the level of riciness coming from an Aussie factory car. I can't think of anyone else that's competing with the Japanese in that regard. So kudos, I guess.What suprised me most is the two pictures that were posted in the "Best looking saloon" thread. From one year to the other the car had simply been riced to an embarrassing degree.

considering how clean the SS model looks, i'm not sure what HSV is going for.. well they were(are?) British run i guess.
