Translation of this post - I'm on Panheads nutsack, and I used spell checker to type 'Narcissist'.

Not sure I'm dealing with the smartest bunch of specimens here, people see one or two words and come to their own conclusions . I said most BMW LIKE does that mean it's as good as our beamer ?of coarse not! Just saying it's closer than previous models Holden were trying to bench mark. Please...

I was driving my evoke today with this post in mind and I thought to myself if the evoke was any firmer it would ruin the cars beautiful balance. I think there is a perception out there that the evoke isn't very sporting in its handling or the way it drives because it's the base model but I can...

If your enjoying your VF try the evoke, I just got a 2015 one and it's ride quality/ body control is superb. I have driven a VF SV6 and I am surprised just how close the smaller engine evoke feels to the SV6 but I wouldn't want the evoke to ride any firmer than it does I think they have the...

Type in 'VF Commodore review wheels' on YouTube there you will find Peter Robinson doing his best confessional box at church impersonation as he repents his sins of the VE commodore. Imagine the VF being the earlier model and then unveiling the new VE interior it would be like when Homer...

Yeah the VE had tractor like refinement when it came to the 3.6 and auto combo Peter bloody Robins....... and having any modern VW out of warranty is one expensive repair away from sending you broke $7000 DSG auto anyone?

I'm not sure who would shop an evoke against a HSV either, I was lucky enough to have a family member who worked at the local Holden dealer for a while bring over a few cars in the range for a spin one being the supercharged GTS on a Christmas Eve, anything over $20000 I'd buy a BMW I would...

Okay after doing around 450ks this week here are some more impressions and comparisons to the VE omega I once owned. The electric steering is a revelation compared to the VE omega, the car feels so nimble and the steering always feels consistent , I found the VE would sometimes feel wooden or...

All valid points but then how could someone like Peter Robinson gush over the whole range, surely he drove the omega and thought this is rough as guts, did he seriously drive the Aurion then jump into the omega and say 'yeah this is acceptable for Holden Billion dollar baby????'

It sure was much smoother than the embarassing 6 in the VE, I'd love to hear how and why that engine in that state was ever allowed into the VE, I honestly feel for many of the thousands of people still driving those early VE omegas .

hi mate the steering was a huge Gripe of mine with the VE sometimes it was ok then others it felt really wooden and stiff, i found it very susceptible to differences in tyre pressure to the point it changed the steering feel completely, I guess I was expecting the BMW like steering as praised by...

Hi mate one of my biggest cripes with the VE was the if you jump in a ve omega and tell me it doesn't sound like a crappy gravely tractor then your either deaf or have no pulse, as for VNs 6s being better than the silky smooth RB30 , my brother in-law had a VT Ecotec and one day got to drive...

sadly the regular 186 in the Kingswood put the 6 in the VE omega to shame, all new models should be better in every aspect doesn't always happen though, just look at the VL vs VN.

Hi Forg I meant to say that the Nissan engine was so refined compared to the 6 in the ve omega, to me it was unforgivable for such a harsh engine/ lack of work on refinment to be placed in a new car in 2006, I even remember being in a work mates Kingswood back in the day and saying to him how...

Hi all, I recently purchased a used Silver VF Evoke With 180,000 ks with full Holden service history for $10,900 from a local Holden dealer, once I saw the add I knew it wouldn't last long and was greeted at the car by another customer who was already looking at it for his 'brother' and was on...
