I'm relocating to Sydney, Australia next month and would like some suggestions on what car to look for. I will stay for 1-2 years probably. I need two cars. One for me and one for my wife.

At home in Sweden I drive an Audi S4-V8 but that type of car has a ridiculous price tag down under.

So. Any suggestions?

Holden HSV GTS - it has 300KW
Nice car according the looks and the engine in my opinion.
Last time i was 2001 in Sydney and i saw this car very often there. I'll be end of the year again in Sydney visiting my relatives!

Holden or a Skyline - or similar japanese exotic.

If you own it 1 yr. you should be able to bring it back AS IS = heavily tuned and still get it registered. ;)

I think a Skyline is not an option - in case you mean the GT-R , cause they want Big Money for them in Australia. For that reason they are also rare there. I haven't seen a real GT-R all the time i was Down Under. My Cousin told me that GT-R's are rare and if you own one the chances that it will be stolen are very High !:rolleyes:
