    Default HSV Captiva?

    What do you think?

    I reckon it looks hot, especially with an LS2.

    It looks alright, I don't like how the headlights are the same as the base model though, needs more aggression to be a HSV, and I don't know what's up with using the letters VXR.. and I'd be scared if that Daewoo made Captiva thing had a V8 in it


    HSV wouldn't use the same name for the vehicle as Holden did, and you'd think it'd have bigger wheels lol..

    Well this is all just in my opinion It should have been based on the MaXX verison of the Captiva, not the SX (base model)

    I'd much rather see Holdens selling Hummer H3s!

    Still a nice photoshop though, something different

    Yeah, I reckon it looks OK.. Needs better wheels, and a V6 from a VE Commodore!

    And yeah, I want a H3 to come out, with a 6.0litre.

    I dunno, I'm not so keen on the whole SUV thing, I really prefer the adventra/avalanche in terms of looks.

    Luke Duke: You mean you're gonna make sweet love IN it.
    Beau Duke: Oh no, I'm gonna have sex with it.

    the intakes upper and lower need to be re-sized, they look like some weird gaping face in that mock up

    if anything the front end is too tall for a sleek style to be applied to it, they need a more aggressive approach

    the Captiva is sold in the US as a Cadillac STS, not sure on the engine options though.

    I think the name was doomed from the start. Forever to be known as the "craptiva"
