    VS. minor changes make them look HEAPS better. Plus their newer, which IMO (MY!!! opinion... OPINION!!!!!) means better. Especially in the case of older models, make sense? hopefully

    Definitely the VS. Newer, Better engine, And as Mike said: Heaps of little changes that make things better. One thing I noticed randomly the other day, doing some work on a mate's VR, is that he's got a spot for the key on the passenger door as well as driver side.

    i think vr because it has a better gearbox (manual) the vr has a t5 and the vs has a getrag .... i helped the oldman replace a clutch and fly wheel in one. the guy we got the parts from says the getrags come out with a shit clutch from new . need replasing like every 6mounths (if driven everyday every ware) .. but i could be wrong

    VR because I have one.
    And because the ecotec is a gay POS (yes i own one, in a vx)
    No-one gives the good'ol buick a chance. theres no way the ecotec is the better engine (opinion!!)

    The S1 VS came out with a T5 setup. The S2 VS had a Getrag box, hydraulic clutch, and a dual mass flywheel.

    Yes I do own a VR, the reason for voting VR Over VS is the same reason I own one of these far gone beauties!!!! With the 5l model you can have a late model fuel injected V8, reasonably light weight, NO airbag systems unless it was optioned & ditto with ABS. I like to work play & mod my car myself & I don't want that stuff getting in the way costing more because it's needed to keep the car legal on the road....PFFFT to that BS!!!!

    Well i voted for VR, because i own one with the T5 gearbox and i reckon the old Buicks go harder for longer! and dont have all that crappy stuff like the vs does, just nice & simple =D
