With the engine so far back that will make changing the spark plugs a tricky job!!

Yeah my mate has been bitching about that already. Just a note, that big red thingo is the positive connection to the battery so u can jumpstart the car from the front instead of having to open up the boot. Clever eh?

Oh yeah... Who would have thought? It's absolute genius! Run a cable from the boot to the engine bay so people can still jump start the car from the engine bay. Yup - that's where the $1billion was spent, working out that "clever" feature.

The advantage of having the battery in the boot is that engine heat won't have effect on the battery, that can shorten the life of it. Christ, 'wanker' should be branded on your forehead, after some of the things you post up on JC's.

*note to mods* sorry if that last comment breaks the rules, but you can only put up with so many inane comments!

what is that dealer and others going to do with all the left over VZs? how much will they have drop the price in order to actually sell them?

Well Im not too sure what is going to happen to the 'old' VZs, but I have read around the place that there is apparently only 500 VZ model commodores left. Im sure Holden wont have too many problems selling those few off. But youre right, discounts are probably on the way for those VZs left behind.

It looks good, i think Ford has to catch up with the next model, the new commodore looks neat and not too big.
