ford falcons dont have a v6 “yet” its a straight 6….
and what ever.. its only a holden.. it looks better however

the TWR supercharged version offered in the UK is a mean peice of kit. TWR have made some seriously amazing machines.. XJ220s for example

JW,

You hate the rear look at the back that is a wonderful butt!

HSV spent 3 million dollars alone on the taillights!

To each his own JW, but sales of the E series cars are way ahead of previous years sales already and export sales are equally spectacular.

Most folks think the rear of the car with the LED tail lights is the best angle of the new car, so you would be part of a very small group of people.

It’s a great drive.

I actually dislike the look of the HSV from the back.

If you look at it from dead on, there’s too much expanse of metal, and the taillights are very small in comparison.

I think that HSV should have stuck with what they used to do, which is take taillights off a Commodore. They could have taken the taillights off a Calais or something.

Thanks Matthew – that makes more sense but nonetheless, a race car-like stop light would be a nice touch on the R8!

Lucky we don’t have that foglight here then. There are already too many tools here that drive around with their rear foglights on (think Hyundai drivers)

Just found your site the other week. I’ev now added your RSS feed to my home page. Awesome website. This site is exactly what the Aussie online car community has been lacking. Autospeed has gone downhill, and FullBoost is mostly oriented towards drag racing. The other, more commercial sites are a pain.

G’day,
That low mounted red light in the rear diffuser of the UK version of the car is not a stop light but a rear fog light. I understand all new cars sold in the UK must have rear fog lights.
