Always had a soft spot for the Statesman/Caprice, they were/are a hell of a lot of car for the money.

And apparently they are also able to recognise when they have a wankstain as an owner and behave accordingly as well..

Great job GMH :)

I LOVE the WN/WNII VE externally with the awesome VF interior. Best of both worlds

I love that they were really the last bastion of the old-school motoring ethos. A big, long wheelbase, heavy rear wheel drive V8 sedan.

(of course they came in V6 as well, but you catch my drift)

My old Neighbour had one of the last model of Caprice ever made, fully optioned, very nice car indeed. Used it as a corporate cab.

Well when I purchased the Caprice V 4 months ago a week later I was offered to buy the same year model in Grange for $5000 more. Now the Caprice V is well optioned but the Grange is out of the World with Options. Yes the Grange had 6.2Ltr with 340KW's Magnetic ride suspension, TPS system, Bi modal Rear Muff, Bi Modal induction, all controlled by MyLink + other option more than the Caprice V had for the same year.

If Grange had have come with the LSA in MY17, I would have bought one over the Senator for sure.

No sure but the WN HSV Grange of the 2014 time had a 6.2 ltr in it yet for for Holden the 6.2 ltr engine was introduced I think late in 2015- early 2016 but for a 6.2 LTR LSA WOW a Supercharger on a luxury HSV long wheel base car that would have cost $100, 000. For that they would have put at least larger Blu ray screens not DVD but at the Size of the two monitors it woulds be hard to see the Difference.
I think the HSV 2017 Grange was worth around $87,000
