HSV to unveil 4 Limited Editions

[Fab]

Looks like you get SS-V seats instead....

Looks like it, same seats as my SSVR

65K for the black. Save 10K and buy the SSVR, then use the 10K towards a blower...

I prefer the look of the SSVR anyway.

I have a wagon so there are even fewer differences.

That said I do like owning FPV, but aren't really bothered with HSV.

Those seats look like the regular clubsport seats, not the bolstered R8 clubsport seats

[Express]

Same as my Redline seats.

The Brochure for the Maloo says you get Sports Bucket Seats in leather trim with power adjustable driver seat lumbar support with 4 way electric adjustment of driver seat and 2 way manual adjustment of passenger seat which is the same as my Redline Ute.

So to for about $70k on the road you get to put your hand between your legs to slide the seat back and forth, in this day and age at that price point that is just plain cheap to me and I think the same for the Redline.

Ripped off. My seat is fully electric..

Yep, for the price of these Utes I think that as well.

And the passengers in both the sedans & Utes get only manual operation which makes it difficult when I have to lean in and try and help my mobility challenged father-in-law in and out of the car.

Being able to press a button to move the seat would make things so much easier.

Well I'm in the minority but they look alright to me.........bit expensive but I would not pay that much for any car regardless of badge.

And whether you love it or hate it - HSV are still around. FPV aren't. What does that say.

At least the Falcon never sported FWD, V6 or the other 'grown up', 'sensible' things similar automakers in its class moved on to. Instead it sported a big turbo straight-six, supercharged v8, RWD.. things that made no sense or showed any maturity. That's what made Falcon the best : it was the stubborn kid that didn't want to grow up, and maybe that's why it had to be ended.

Yeah it stopped selling ..... yonks ago...
cant get more stubborn that that..

I'm glad Falcon didn't stoop to that abomination.

4wd twin turbo opc Insignia..

Funny how a Euro ford like a sierra becomes automatically cool because it wears a Ford badge.

When they're twin turbo V8's.

Reading some of the comments in the News.com.au article I'm almost glad Ford are out of this market

Much like how it becomes a target for constant negativity because a car has a Ford badge.

Probably because of some Ford fans.

Justin Bieber may sell a ton of records, but that don't make them good

Or those whose love of the brand gets diluted by crusty old *******.

Sure.

My point was, that popular does not necessarily equal good

[Shonky.]

Ps. What's the 3rd brand?

Or simply troll.

[Shonky.]

Just occurred to me, you'd mean Toyota, as they are winding up here too

Yep, pretty soon we're just going to he digging holes for a living. Nice work Australia!
