But it's an Astra, no sporty style about it. Focus always had a Rally version and performance versions (XR5T) so it wouldn't be too surprising if they decided to put it in FPV territory.
But an Astra as a HSV?
It looks like my grandma's daily driver no matter what you put on it :S

Astras were rallied (Opels at least) they also have non HSV performance versions (SRi). Nothing wrong with grandma driving a HSV. They are easier to park.

At least the HSV astra not the pulsar vector one LOL had more power than the Holden astra sri turbo, a proper HSV not just a re badged astra

[388cube_edxr8]

I believe that to be an Acura RSX, but I doubt if even the owner knows for sure.

I like it too. Change the green to blood red and it'd be awesome.

Transformers and Knight Rider - they aren't even close to being the same show, the same car, or the same era??

Not as bad as the HSV Jackaroo.

I remember seeing one occasionally when I walked home from school years ago. The only thing it looked like HSV added were badges and a spare tyre cover with the HSV logo.

There is a holden jackaroo getting around Mudgee with HSV badges and stickers. I just looked at it and shook my head.

[wicksy]

looks like some one who has owned a E series and decided to colour code the plastics haha

[NickyN]

Now that is really REALLY flourescent lime green. Think it glows?

[388cube_edxr8]

I do like his centre console lid though.

What is hanging from the steering column?

[NickyN]

Black microfibre.... yup that is nice. Black leather would be even nicer.

Umm... the paperbacking of some stickie tape?

[huggiebear]

na that the clock spring/spool? for the airbag setup, all falcons EF onwards have them but they arnt ment to unravel like that.. if you remove a falcon steering wheel you will see it its a black round plastic container thing

if you used firefox instead of IE, you right-click any image and 'copy image location' and paste that here

I have a friend who has a Jackaroo HSV (original owner) and I tell him that he is the original owner simply because nobody else will BUY it...

Apparently they made less than 100 of them - making them very rare...

But - why would you want one??
