Alex, lol. just because theirs about 5 million commodores around, (or close to that number) and their value isn’t pretty high. Well thats because their is too much of them. That doesn’t mean that a HSV w427 limited to 427 units is gona loose value. & since ur so smart, jump onto a carsales website (carsales.com.au or uniquecarsales.com.au) and search for a Holden VL SS Group A, VL Walkinshaw, Holden HK Monaro & then come back and tell me they loose value. LOL u’d think that some ppl that comment on this site might have a slight clue about what they are saying.

& as for ur precious oil, trust me the amount of oil in Iraq is well underestimated, and if it does finish Quickly, & World War 3 starts shortly after, well then we can all thank america, for F*king this world up for us, & not to mention america still has a fair bit of oil.

And not to worry finnaly when oil does run out in about 50 yrs or a century, if we r still around by then (at the rate everyting is happening at). then ur gona have to worry about paying taxes for walking to work or riding a bike to work. & geez won’t that be fun, or u might not know cause u might not even be old enough to work yet.

Yeah Car-Enthusiast, that makes alot of sense the W427 going up in value (insert sarcasm). For one thing 427 or not, Holdens almost always lose value and for another thing, its not gonna be worth much when were all out of oil is it? And there’s possibility that we might not have access to oil (not for cars anyway) in ten years the way things are going.

lol, i have seem to go off this site for one day(unlike some ppl, who can’t get off this site) and its almost like WW3 happened here. Im not gona bother changing some ppl’s minds, or arguing against. Cause ur personal opinion is ur personal opinion, and thats what makes us all different.

Now just a quick word about the W427, i have said this about half a million times, to little idiots, that dnt understand what some cars are all about.

Now sure $$155K for a W427 might be a fair bit overboard, but thats not the point. You see where as their are probably going to be thousands of Nissan GTR’s, BMW M3′s, AMG’s, Audi R(classes), etc etc built & Future model’s to come. Their will most likely be a maximum of 427, HSV W427′s.

And most of the W427, (Just like the VL Walkinshaw, FORD GTHO)etc. etc, will be bought as Investments.

Now possibly about 10 (or more) yrs down the road, where the current M3′s, AMG’s, Audi’s, & GTR’s & Lexus ISF will be worth $$ Toyota Camry $$ Money, or even $$ Hyundai Excel $$ money, the W427, just like the rest of the Aussie Classic’s, will probably double in value or at least be worth $$ 220 K + .

Now if u do want a Bang for ur Bucks (cheapish) Holden/HSV, than can develop even more KW than the W427. Go buy a Holden VE SS, OR HSV E-series R8/GTS, go to CSV Australia (CORSA SPECIALIZED VEHICLES) get them to put the ORIGINAL LS7 from the corvette z06 (Which develops more power then the one in the W427) about 400 kw.

Get the LS7 fitted into ur SS/Clubbie for about $20 K (with clutch and a few other things). and their u go, u will have a car thats about as quick, IF not quicker than a W427 for about half the Price. And then their might be even more ppl B*tching and complaining out of Jealousy.

And thats, that. THE HSV W427, is what most ppl will call a MODERN CLASSIC.

“We could make something better here for half the price. The germans have a rich heritage – something the japs will never have. Expect these to be make mostly in china in the next few years as the greedy corporates maximize profits.”

We already made the W427, which is overpriced compared to others in the price bracket. And it’s $155K. How could you make something better? And let’s see how quick the “exclusivity” factor lasts in a few years when HSV drops the LS9 in a Senator…

Fake tail pipe pretty much sums it up.

Not worth three Aurions.

Stock Aurion looks better.

Read the October motor mag review. It’s a piece of junk; a pretend performance vehicle. Heck, even the rear tailpipes are fake. Toyota should stick to what they do best – making mostly reliable, mostly boring, inoffensive “human transport devices” for the uncaring masses.
