But what Bush did with your Banking System over there has screwed things here big time as well. Still, our Government has always been heavily regulating the banks here and we will ride out this disaster far better than you guys. The BIG BIG BIG bonus for you guys is the fact that the $AU has been sold heavily for no damn reason at all other than Americans need the cash. Expect,(DEMAND) that you get your G8`s cheaper from the Dealers as our $ dropped over 25 cents against yours. Therefore, it is cheaper for your Dealers to buy them now. They most likely have a bigger margin now, so haggle the hell out of them. On a differant note, Have any of the Utes arrived yet? I heard over here that it was put to a vote to name them and you came up with G8 ST (Sports Truck)? They are hugely popular here, we call them a sports car with a bloody big boot (trunk), lol! Also, our SS (G8) our now running with the 6.2 litre motor and the HSV`s are using the LS3. To hell with the price of fuel, we pay way more than you anyway. Life is too short, enjoy them while you can. |

Replying to: holdenguy (Oct 12, 2008 6:51 am) Heck, we only live once, if I can swing putting fuel in a big V8 engine, then do it! You only live once, now this is fighting my practical side...lol. But its true. But, you know what my issue is.... it is making choices.. like getting a car. I could spend forever, on deciding which car I want, acting like it is the last car I will ever drive. lol, I find myself doing this method with other things in my life. It drives me crazy sometimes. Some tell me, "Just make a choice, and get on with it!". lol I should. I think we all need to have more fun! Then that way wouldn't treat each other so mean. We are all so tense! A walking bomb! Is it really worth your health and happiness? Though I am not a big American car fan, I would drive a G8! I would probably get a white one! V8! If you want a G8, a big V8! Then get one! Its a car, now check with your practical side before you do this...lol

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhOVAtA7l2Y&feature=related Love this advert showing a lot of the old Holden Utes from the past. A mate of mine has one in the same weird green color, he also has one of those new Bimmer 335 Coupes with the twin turbos. He prefer the Ute for the fun factor

Replying to: bvdj84 (Oct 12, 2008 7:17 am) JUST DO IT. And make sure it`s the V8, then mod the damn thing! I`m wacking a supercharger on my VZ LS1 Commodore. Should get me around 620 hp. That will scare the bejeezes out of any damn ricer that thinks he can take me at the traffic light drags. |

Looks like the ST name will stick. I'm planning on a GXP G8 this coming spring or summer! Mostly for the 6MT, Brembos and the Suspension. The 6.2L is also a nice addition too.  -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host |

Replying to: creamcitian (Oct 12, 2008 3:52 pm) I`m one of the few Aussies that bothers to post here. As for the political crap, couldn`t agree more, but the net result is that you will be able to get your G8`s cheaper down the track. That`s the point I was making, so all good for you. I currently own a VZ Commodore SS(see below link) which I love, but are thinking about trading it in on the new Sportswagon. Just have to make sure I can fit a surfski in it with the front passenger seat flipped forward. I don`t like putting things on the roof as the wind drag is enormous ie; fuel economy goes out the window. HSV have made a wagon with the LS3 in it, looks hot. Do you guys like the wagon? http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_reports/xrt-holden-vz-ss-sedan.htm http://www.autoblog.com/photos/hsv-clubsport-r8-tourer/1013120/ |
