All of these cars get 411hp 6.0L LS2s mated to either a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed automatic. Personally I think the Holden Commodore with it's more subdued styling is better looking than these somewhat overdone HSVs, but HSV has never been about subdued. I think it's the taillights that put me off. Other than that I like these cars although the GTS with it's contrasting black inlets and cooling ducts are a little extreme. Regardless GM needs to bring these cars to the US ASAP. They sell a toned down version of the Senator (called the Statesman in Holden trim) as a Buick in China. I say do the same here only give us the HSV version.
Word has it that there will be even more powerful versions in the coming years. WTF is GM waiting for? Bring these cars stateside.
