Agreed, that looks awesome

but if youre there, may as well go all the way….

Not a fan of that one because it looks like a tablet glued onto the dash.

I don't know about that statement as I've driven a 4 cylinder Camry and own a 3 litre Omega... The 3 litre feels quite a bit more responsive than a 4 cylinder Camry and is a little smoother than the 3.6, IMO and from what I've heard... I've also heard that the 3 litre was originally meant to be turbocharged, though I don't think that was officially said...

Does the 3 litre use appreciably less petrol than the 3.6 litre though? If not then its completely pointless, just like the 4 cylinder Camry.

It's a little bit stupid that you guys in Queensland get charged per cylinder... Does that mean that you pay cheaper rego on the new 4 cylinder C63 and pay more for a V6 Commodore?

Correct! I pay 1200 per year on the SSV purely because it’s got 8 cylinders meanwhile a 6 cylinder Land Cruiser 300 series pays less rego than me despite weighing a metric fuckton more and thus doing more damage to the roads!

In many EU countries they charge you for CI’s or CC’s

they don’t care 1 cyl or 12 cyl

What does CI's and CC's mean? The displacement?

I'd say around 1 to 2 litres less than the 3.6... This engine drives quite a bit nicer than a 4 cylinder Camry and has quite a bit more power (in fact it has more kw than the old LE0 and 5 kw less than the LY7, though less torque)... So it's still not completely useless and has enough power not to be completely bored...

Another example of Government's not keeping up with modern technology...

What does CI's and CC's mean?

CI's = Cubic inch.
CC's = Cubic Centimetre.

CI = Cubic Inches
CC = Cubic Centimeters

202ci Holden Engine (Early VB - VK etc) which can be translated in 3.3L or 3300cc

yup basically engine displacement

What is the 3.0i engine carsales list

And with the different stereos, isnt it to the point that if it doesn't have the media button then it doesn't have proper Bluetooth, only the limited calls Bluetooth, and doesn't have streaming Bluetooth for Spotify etc etc

I cough up the same for my VC and VY.....Both 6 bangers...One is 3.3 litre capacity and the other 3.6

CI cubic inch.
CC cubic centimeter

Eg. 1800 CC’s and 253, 304, 308, 355, 383 CI (all the good ones)
