    Do you like or hate the new Commodore?

    Nope going to stick to my ve , may get a ve ute as well so i have a nice collection. Would rather get the KIA Stinger over the new commodore ! Hey defiantly the new Suzuki jimmy as well . I think the only decent Holden is the Colorado now. Sad day but hey at-least we still have Japanese cars

    VZ SV6 or VZ Calais ? (Opinion Poll)

    um depends what u want but i think the sv6 would be the sportier as it probably weighs less. but the calais will be so much nicer inside if u just want a cruiser . voted the calais anyway as its the same but better . i take it the calais will be a 6 also ? because if its a 8 then that for sure
