    i like it, but to me i was expecting to see a more in your face style bodykit on it like the old walky.looks a bit too tame

    Hmm, it is hardly what I would call a supercar. Let's see it do nurburgring in supercar times to back up the statement of "supercar".

    it was supposed to be a SS-V originally, they ordered the car in its original state from us at booran holden in cheltenham.

    but the production was delayed due to sat nav on SS-V and CALAIS-V so i beleive they took hold of the SS to get it ready for the motor show in time.

    agreed. im a bit dissapointed with the new walky, not what i expected from the famous 20odd year old lineup of exceptional performance cars.
    It just seems to be lacking something though, what about the racey feel.. where is the supercar racing interior, the 'look at me' decals or the 'i bet thats expensive' bodykit? all traits as analogous as that of every "supercar". What i guess im getting at, is it a nice car? Hell yes. Would i pay the asking price? Hell no. Does it deserve the Supercar badge? I dont think so.
    Is it just me, or does everyone think they have tried to hard for the supercar badge and steered away from the traditional walkinshaw appeal?
