If you don't live in Australia, you've probably never heard of this car. Down here we don't have the F-350 class of monster trucks, we have these instead. It's the ute version of the Holden Commodore, which some markets know as the Pontiac G8. There's also a corresponding Ford, based on the Falcon. HSV - Holden Special Vehicles - makes the big mutha version of the more mundane Commodores. This is the ute version. It runs a 6.2 litre V8 giving 317 kw. Hence the 317 badge on the tailgate. 550 Nm of torque sounds good too. I love it! For comparison, the 6 speed manual is listed at $61,550. A Honda S2000 is $73,590, an Audi TT 1.8 manual is $64,900, a BMW 135i Sport manual is $72,230, a Chrysler 300C STR8 auto is $74,990 & a Nissan 370Z manual is $67,990. The Porsche Boxster S manual is $141,900, a Lambo LP640 Roadster E-Gear is $865,116 and the Pagani Zonda F C12S Roadster is $1,605,405. All these prices are exclusive of dealer charges, stamp duty, and our Luxury Car Tax, which goes into the Government's pockets. Please form an orderly queue.
