excellent find, its not ofen the Aussies are caught out ( not even in cricket) but this seems to have surprised them a little( well the guys who wrote the article anyway, I'm sure the average joe on the street is well aware of the aftermarket tuning you can do). I just love the little hand notation of "what" and an arrow pointing to our fog light, like someone in the office was reading it and was like "what the hell is that sticking out of the back of the bumper". it is one of the giveaways of having an imported car I guess. I know Australia can be a foggy place so why the cars don't come with them as standard all over the world I don't know. I guess it will come as no surprise that we are going to do it to the new VXR8 as well.
That name still isn't growing on me, why couldn't they just use this as a launch pad and name it the Commodore VXR and then slowly but surely open up the market with other models ( utes especially would go down well here as well as estates). I would much much prefer either of those two options to a standard saloon car.
