I love the Commodore SS and the Monaro, as well as a few other Holden cars. Im visiting Brisbane and Sydney and have had the opportunity to drive and see up close/ take pics of a few of the cars. As soon as I get the chance I'll have to post some of my pics. Beautiful cars and a gorgeous country!

No kidding. They totally F up the SSR by making it expensive and giving it 300 horses which barely make it go 0-60 in under 8 seconds for the first two years of its existence. Then finally decide to give it more power, but it's too late because everyone already thinks the truck SUCKS and is overpriced.

They might as well have just brought the Ute over as the new El Camino/Caballero. I mean it looks great and you can't lose with an LSX.
