Default CAPA XR Commodore

Was just on the Capa weebsite and came across this.I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw it. A XR commodore : As they say imitation is the best form of flattery.

Old news I had this discussion with GP when he was around. Ford looked into it. But they sell these cars overseas to people in englund and the U.A.E.

So no one from australia gets one from what i understand.

It looks like they used what was in the left-over parts bin from the EF and EL XRs :P

they must have pulled an all nighter thinking about what to call it.

plus the badges dont really suit the car. also why not call it an SS-R or something more holden?

That is one ugly POS.

Badges look great, on a Falcon, were there belong and were manufactured for.
