OOH that looks nice - need bigger pics and would like to see it in the fastest colour - black of course....and probably without teh rear spoiler but need to see in the flesh really

Oh yes. Yes yes yes yes YES!

That hits the spot nicely. I'll always be a coupe man, but that will look as mean a mean thing being really mean in black.

Now make a coupe version of it please

304kw is pathetic. The L76 was putting down 280rwkw tuned in a VZ SS, which is well over 304 engine KW.

Id make mine a SS-V with the L98 engine, the heads in that are way superior to the LS2 heads. LS2 heads flow around 280cfm from memory, the L98 does well over 300. Unless you are a badge snob the performance money is on the L98 with its LS7 derived heads.

I just want one!!

It looks like the lovehild of a Mazda 6 and a Lexus GS!! But both of which arent bad looking cars anyway....need to see it in a proper colour.

Cannot believe in Aus that an M3 is double the price of a 6L HSV Saloon. Just imagine how many they would sell here if they were £20k or even if they were £40k but the M3 £80K!!

We should protect our own car industry in the same way with import duties....

We should have, bit late now though!

Trade protection is a failed policy.
Id rather pay less for a foreign build product than pay over the odds for an ancient featureless local made product any day.
Let the consumer decide what they should buy, why should the government get involved in commercial decisions? Since when did they know best about anything? Iraq? The Dome? yeah right.

I am quoting from the web site above, the 6L clubsport in AU is $60k the M3 $140k !!!

I dont think the HSV is an ancient featureless product, do you?

Just think how well a £30k MG ZT320 would have done here if an M3 was £75,000.....

The front's not a million miles from this




A pair of bonnet vents/nostrils would look great too

I don't normally look forward to Mondays, but this should help

[booster]

That's a STUNNING looking car!! Oooohh yesss!!!

[GSI_Daz]

I am not so sure, I couldn't see me buying that - to me it just looks like a cheap bodykit has been stuck on. It doesn't help that it is in white though, I have never thought that many cars look good in white.

*washes mouth out with soap*

I guess I will be ignored and shunned now

[Twin Turbo]

Can we delete the previous post please?

I think it's gonna look stunnin in red or black. Hopefully we'll get some great pics on Monday?

So, I take it this is the version mooted by Autocar a few weeks back, that Vauxhall are showing an interest in selling over here?

Big brakes all round by the looks........at last!!!

[ringram]

Not sure on those fog light surrounds.. Colour coded might look better.

[uk hsv]

Looks good in Black

[ringram]

Yep, black and colour coded would look good.
