(a few yrs after Ford?)......then people will be driving those stupid Malibu's and whatever GM stuff gets brought in (maybe they'll do Comaro to combat Mustang?).And Expensive Daewoo as definitely dumb for not releasing the SV6 Turbo .... but perhaps they saw how it affected Fords V8 sales and didn't want to compromise their HS.V/SS sales in a similar way...

Not totally sure on that. However, they reckon we'll be getting all Opals here. Like Insignia's and stuff. Apparently they may be the new 'commodore'..... Hmm, no thanks.... I'll pass.And they reckon they definitely wont be bring a camaro here and badging it. But they may bring the Corvette here, but they'll be expensive as hell.

Yeah, did alright. Has zero value now, worth no more than a standard 3.8/3.6 is. Never drove one, but have been in one. They seemed ok. Nothing spectacular though.

I went in that, like you say...they were ok, but nothing to write home about.

I think it was only like 20kw more than standard 6 or something? But then retune and they went ok..

Or just wait a few years and pick up a grange for $30,000 ;D they don't hold their value at all haha.
