i reckon if i had the money too waste i could modify a base model commodore into a V8 with just as much power for less. no matter how much you pay for it at the end of the day its still an australian lie (whoops) i mean commodore

$150,000.00 for a commodore with spoilers, dam wat a waste of money, I paid $65,000.00 for a 2008 Holden /Clubsport R8 and this thing had a total of 68 problems and was returned to Holden 18 times for repairs, which did nothing to fix the vehicle at all, and one time when the vehicle was off the road Holden loaned a hire vehicle to me to drive for 6 weeks and it was a Mitsubishi 380 VR-X, it was that good that I sold my Clubsport and purchase a 380 Mitsubishi, I would have to say that it was the best thing that I have ever done, I would never purchase a Holden or HSV ever again after all the trouble Holden and HSV caused me, so for Holden and HSV they can stick there pourly built cars up there back sides, because they are crap….

For $160,322 drive away I would buy the Mercedes C63 AMG. Better investment.

It’s very interesting that so many European and Asian car manufacturing fans are commenting on this blog claiming that cost and quality of W427 is un-justified, although they always seem to justify the excesive cost of their own through quality and performance. Why are you looking at the W427 on this site in the first place? A lot of people have pre-concieved thoughts pushed by media that European and other car manufacturers outside of Australia are far superior to that of Aussie cars, why don’t you pull your heads in and support the country you live in!

Too much for the asking price, if i bought one i would certainly have the grille changed other than that nice car . Yep i agree Falcon F6 is overated i own one, handle’s good but i get blown away at the lights by 70yr old granny’s in their Datsun 120Y’s. Took a trip to Goulburn recently in my F6, thought i’d open it up give it a quick blat got up to 250kmh and was overtaken by a toyota Yaris. That crushed me it really did…to make matters worse the Yaris was towing a Caravan ! Got to thinking theres something very wrong with the Falcon, so took it to the local Ford dealer, service dept opened the bonnet guy pointed and said yep thats your problem, i looked and said where is the problem ? Service bloke said right there see it says F O R D !

Why couldn’t the HRT 427 seen in the early 2000s be the base on which to build this? Wheres the carbon-ceramic brakes? Or the weight-saving? This may be a BIG sedan for a BIG country but it sure as hell is not any BIG thing. Its exactly like the Aston Martin DBS, trying to make something big out of something small. In fact its virtually dead-on being Australia’s DBS. A normal GTS but where everything is a little bit better. So as JC would say (besides what I already have said), it should of being called a “GTS-S” or perhaps in tribute to a previous car the “GTS-R”. Or maybe they should of just put the bloody 7.0L in the GTS in the first place and returned the GTS to its former glory?!?

Lets face it this car is awesome. For those die hard ford fans that keep comparing it to a F6 wait till it acually comes out then put side by side.I work for a certain dealer and the F6 is very over rated not to mention the normal ford problems that come standard.
