I love the rims on the red one.... very clean!

[GXPaycheck]

Nice. Are they RWD?

[LDV60]

They sure are.
Same chassis essentially.
Just bigger. Quite a bit bigger.
Domestically these are our equivalent of the Lincoln or Cadillac. (Limousine style cars)

Statesman/Caprice
Wheelbase – 3009mm (118 inches)
Length – 5160mm (203 inches)
Trunk volume 535 litres (141 gallons)
Tow rate – 2100kg (4700lbs)

G8 / Commodore SS
Wheelbase – 2915mm (114 inches)
Length – 4894mm (196 inches)
Trunk volume – 496litres (131 gallons)
Tow rate – 2100kg (4700lbs)

25mm per inch.
2.2 pounds per kg

Looks good! Looks like way bigger trunks than we have, and a little more rear seating room.

[LDV60]

You're right. 10 gallons of extra volume. I've added extra details in my post above.

[BluYa76]

Damn, the more and more I see cars from Australia I wanna move there and drive all the time! Nice cars!!!

I kinda think that's the point.

I kinda think that's the point.

caddy is OK to me... but a buick :puke:

How about interior volume? How do they compare?

[LDV60]

The interior volume numbers are very similar, for all measurements except rear leg room, which is increased by 100mm (4 inches).

[LDV60]

These cars come with:
- Bluetooth
- Full screen colour SATNAV (optional)
- TPMS (not available in most Australian models)
- 10 way electric seats
- DVD player with dual rear LCD screens (in the back of the front headrests)
- DVD plays on front 6.5inch screen (when stationery)
- Bi-Xenon headlamps
- heated / powered exterior mirrors
- sunroof (optional)
- tri zone climate control

I built meself a conservative Caprice. Very nice! About $54,000 USD.

For those of us who have looked at Aussie/Holden quality, (most of us I guess), we know that they build cars differently in Oz.

The G8 is a "Screaming yellow zonker" of a bargain. :p

[Crazy Paul]

Saw a 05/2008 HSV GTS LS3 M6 black on black yesterday with 5000km (3100miles) on the clock in a caryard. Asking AUD$66k = US$44k

Almost came home with a new car.
:wacko:
