It’s Blue, meaning Evoke as is figured

just post the vin minus the last 5 digits and no one can identify your vehicle but the members here can tell you what you have.
it should be on the rego/sale papers you got during the purchase.

It's an evoke with a calais titanium interior bought from a wrecker and installed by the previous owner. Just like the sv6 badge on the bootlid

I note OP has edited his first post to state that the car was previously a write off, so that will explain the mismatch of parts on the car.

Its life would definitely be an Evoke due to the blue cluster, single exhaust, 3.0L engine, so being sold as a Sv6 was definitely not right but if OP is happy with his purchase, that's all that matters I guess! :)

[QUOTE="krusing, post: 3075887, member: 122357"The thing that I can not get my head around, is the single exhaust for SV6.[/QUOTE]
That only rules out buyers who know the difference, which seems obvious to most forum tragics but 90% of Australians wouldn't have a clue and wouldn't notice.

Would have been informative to have written that first up.
Did OP know that at time of purchase ? Has the car been misrepresented, and sold at whatever normal SV6 retail price ?
Anyhows, if he is happy with the car and price paid, he seems to have gotten a nice looking and appointed car.

We await his response and opinions.

The engine is a LFW and I got it from Melbourne
LFW is the 3.0L V6, so it definitely not a genuine SV6.
I would be pretty pissed as there is a significant difference in performance between the 3.0L and 3.6L LFX.
You say you got it from Melbourne? Private or dealer?
I'm guessing it was from one of the following suburbs: Broadmeadows, Fawkner, Campbellfield, Roxburgh Park, Somerton???

You forgot Deer Park, Sunshine and St Albans :cool:

The 3.0 litre V6 is gutless! 3.6lt is so much better
