Automotive News, Media & Press - For All You '94-'96 Impala SS Fans: Meet The HSV E Series Cars

http://www.clubhioctane.com/community/showthread.php?p=7248&posted=1#post7248

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. Just change the taillights.

damn i really like those and an LS2? :devil: yes please!!

Whoever is the head designer at Holden needs to come over to America...either that or GM needs to open up a Holden dealership close by. Their cars are simply put...Awsome

Cool Cars!

The Senator is a slick looking car, but the ground effects should be body color.

Thank God we have the current Impala instead of these. :rolleyes:

Those would wear a Chevrolet or Pontiac badge well. They will be donning bowties when Holden ships them out ot the Middle East. Where's ours GM?

I take back what I said about the taillights. I've seen other pics that show the rear up more clearly and I like the LED units. Glad I searched for more shots in order to get a second look.

F*ck it... I'm moving to Australia.

stuff like that pisses me off, the company is financially sinking and they can't bring great cars that they already make here to the US? WTF? Yeah our Impala definatly trumps this thing!! :bang: They NEED to sell this car here. Price range and performance in the same range as the next Camaro but for those who like or need four doors, it just seems to make sense.

Looks like a Mazda 6, mix with Audi A4/A6. Anybody else see that?

black trim on the bottom looks cheap and ill pass on the cobalt SS wing but otherwise those are some sexy cars

that looks a ton like a mazda 3/ audi a6 on all the rear shots

I want that!!! Slap chevy bowties on it and Chevelle/Impy/whatever the Hell on it and sell it here!!!

I see the Mazda-mix in the tail lights but.. then again you can point out similarities in everything. What's good is there is hardly any similarities to OUR plastic-grandpa Impala.. and bad is that we can't get this one.. ^&**

Thank God we have the current Impala instead of these. :rolleyes:

Are you kidding or something. The current HSV series will shit over the current series Impala. 94-96 Impalas were great no doubt. Anyway... Cant wait to go and see 1 in person, not to sure when they will be on our showrooms but ill be down there when they arrive

Are you kidding or something. The current HSV series will shit over the current series Impala. 94-96 Impalas were great no doubt, but get your hand off it mate asif the new Impala is any good. No comparison what so ever. Anyway... Cant wait to go and see 1 in person, not to sure when they will be on our showrooms but ill be down there when they arrive
