Nope, still don't like it.  Much prefer the Monaro.

Looks like a Mod'ed Ford Escort from the front...

thas quite nice really... i'd have one of those.. is it a factory spec car ?

[HardRockCamaro]

Shame the CTS-V isn't close to that price although to be fair I wouldn't expect a Caddy to cost the same as a Vauxhall.

V Good value I must say, although I wouldn't give that much for a car with a Vauxhall badge on it.

hmm not keen on the white but :drool: nice engine in it !!

[Fieldy]

I would, especially in the white....

I love it....
