When your AMG breaks down you'll need another bank loan to pay for it to be repaired. The HSV on the other hand is much cheaper to fix. I own a VF GTS Manual and test drove the AMG. The HSV is much more fun if you can drive, The AMG is for business men who cant really put the foot into it in the rain with the traction control off which is when the 'HSV is at its best. By the way, did your misses lock you out of the house this morning and you got dressed out of the Salvos bin up the road.

Since when does 0-100 in under 5 seconds qualify a car to be a Supercar? Surely something like under 4 seconds these days is pretty standard for what you'd really consider a Supercar, and 2 doors? These are performance saloons, not Supercars.
@hsvsv810 жыл бұрын
That's incorrect. All cars lose their value, that's true, but performance cars like the GTS don't depreciate by 50% within 5 years. In 2018, a Gen F GTS will probably set you back about 60-70k, depending on kays & condition.

***** There's a difference between "expensive" and "@#&*, I can buy a house for that much!" Many of them are hideously overpriced. I can remember driving a 1986 230E. What it cost new, I could have bought a VL Calais turbo, and still had change for the jet ski. I can see you're about to say "but it's more reliable and handles better." WRONG! this thing turns like a pregnant whale, has far fewer features, and accelerates like an old diesel. The car in question was in excellent mechanical condition, but I found it very underwhelming for the money, and this was long before the luxury car or fringe benefits taxes existed in Australia.

Feng Zhang That is not a way to protect local manufacturers. That is to nurse it. Instead of them actually make a product people want to buy, they put on high taxes on the competition instead.

So Holden actually could make better products and sell to a broader clientele.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but it just doesn't look as aerodynamic as the fg GT or F6. the only reason the hsv was a "success" is becuase it was sold globally to the UK as Vauxhall and Pontiac to the US. its a shame that the only Australian Manufactured car with an Australian engine never made it overseas cos i guarantee it would be as big as the mustang, now will never know.

Think about this comment, pushrod engines have advantages and they arent particularly bad for any reason on a domestic engine. They are less complicated (fewer parts), cheaper to manufacture, they do not suffer the significant change in timing with chain wear as dohc engines do, The heads come off easier. They offer a significantly smaller size which is important on a 6ltr engine. the weight is situated lower in the car and they weigh less. Im not saying they are better but the simple fact is, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a pushrod engine design. This is a common misconception.
