yeah, i think everyone is cuaght up in the hype of the manaro, they fail to see its just a two door commodore- They share the same chassis don't they?

Let's not forget that the commodore DID have a Nissan engine in it for 3 years. VL with the RB30E(T). Guess which model my parents own as a family car [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

And it earns us South Australians a heap of cash, since they're all made here.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not standing up for all the fluffy-dice/laid back seat parade (i.e. I order drive-through from the rear window, cause my seat's so near horizontal...)

I was a commodore P-plater (in the VL) as were my sisters. But we all grew out of the genre pretty quick, me with my Z's, my sisters with a GTi-R & a Celica.

I'm not sure if the Monaro is the same floor as the VX sedan, they do look nice though, even if the mumbo/refinement is a bit lacking.

Remember, nobody likes a bogan....

yeah, I guess we were being a bit harsh, They're pretty good as a family car, but I reckon the new falcon looks better anyway. The new commodore's rearend looks like a cross between a magna and a lancer.

Nothing like a Zed though, and I prefer a GTR skyline over a commodore anyday. And don't the magna VRX's drop the V6 ones anyway?

I reckon the new Falcon XR6 turbo is going to haul ***. From what I've seen of the engine, I wouldnt mind sticking one of those badboys in my lil ol' Z. With a bigger fuel pump and a little more boost 260kW shouldnt be a tall order, and the car should remain drivable. Ah, a boy can dream......
