I'm sure it's a rebranding of the Holden Special Vehicles group, HSV GTS.

Looks a bit better in black, but i think it still has a bit too much going on in with all dem grills, holes, vents etc.

looks awsome!

Well it has 14 more BHP and there will be a supercharged version with more than 500 BHP.
In some ways it is better than an RS4, it's RWD and it's a monaro so powerslides are easy, it's lighter and it's alot alot cheaper.

And it'll be on sale on almost all of europe

Aussie cars are absolute rubbish & that's coming from an Aussie.
HSV's r very,very,very unreliable cars.Their gearbox's are an absolute joke ! The fit & finish of the car itself is equal 2 a cheap japanese car.
They weigh a tone & steer like a ocean liner.
My father was a die hard Holden fan,he had a huge collection of HDT,SV & HSV Commodores but defected long ago.He owned several HSV GTS Commodores & all of them have either left him stranded,failed 2 stop causing an accident,suffered from fluid leaks & have spent more time in the service dept of a dealership then in his garage.
They depreciate like a rock too.
A HSV can never be a substitute 4 a M3,RS4 or any other sports car/sedan from Europe.
Best advice i can give u,don't even consider buying a Holden.If u can't afford a European car then by a EVO 9 or STI.

Really?
They never said anything about it on top gear...
Thouh it is under vauxhall name maybe the improved it abit.
And correct me if I'm wrong but the monaro is under Holden and the GTS
is under HSV and those are different company now aren't they?
Besides audi weighs also a lot. well a lot a lot.
And on Top Gear they said the steering of the monaro is great and it can do great powerslides.
I think that what you're talking about is different...
