It's marginally better than the sticker special Clubsport they did a little while back. To me a limited edition HSV should be really special - something faster than the normal fare rather than a bit of dress ups around the edges. Very disappointing. That said, I'm sure they will sell like hotcakes thus justifying more of the same :(

what a waste of the Black edition name and couldnt they think of something more original then black edition since AMG use that (at least they add power to there cars)

Whats with the plastic vents. Looks slapped together. Like Jezza said if your gunna use black edition do it like the Merc's. Black Edition = bad ass.

OK I'm going to stand alone here but I think the black mags look good. The ones seen in the last picture of the first post here.

I agree - I wouldn't mind a set myself- but for a black edition the car as a whole is a let down

Agree with that. A Black Edition should have more than a few little cosmetic (up?)grades.

It's like expecting an awesome Christmas present...you wait and wait...
Then you unwrap it and....it's ####ing socks :(

Big flop IMHO...time for them to pull their finger out, as stated before
Mercs black edition = bad ass
Hsv black edition = more plastic and black shoes

Bring on the over the top extreme performance!?

If they did add a blower on, wouldn't the car need to be crash tested and all that due to the increase of power... would kinda explain why the wouldn't put one on... I could be completely wrong though.

However I was expecting to see a new designed bumper package...
