Please remember the hsv is not just a car with a lsd and an engine. Stage 2 magnetic ride is pure genius, nearly 400mm 6 piston v8 supercar developed brakes that stop in 33m from 100 similar to 458 ferrari better than e63 amg also, nearly 1g in lateral g is amazing for any car now days even if its not like a lotus in a slalom,torque vectoring is clever, proper cooling too. I just get tired of people saying aussie cars just have an engine, we deserve more praise:)

"Classy looks" is a subjective comment. I think many people would say the Holden is better-looking than the Lexus. As to the handling...well, if you can actually drive you can control this car quite easily. The handling of all VF series Commodores is right up there with the finest cars in the world. Holden chassis engineers were world-renowned for their abilities. Sure, the Lexus has a more modern powerplant and more hi-tech goodies but if you want a car that can trounce most anything else on the road with ease... a car built tough to withstand outback conditions and not have to pay a huge amount of money as you would for the Lexus then it must be the Holden as first pick every time.

It would be interesting to review both cars with performance exhaust systems but I have a suspicion the Lexus may already have a fine system and not benefit as much as the Holden. Totally agree with the conclusion to this road test though. Good review.

As such, you can get a fast, young, well-equipped and pretty Alfa estate with low mileage for just 10 grand.

Holden made a point of not using turbos ever since they used six cylinder Nissan engines in the 80s with turbo that could beat their stock V8 models. Think it hurt the pride. Ever since then supercharger only, even when Ford was dominating six cylinder performance models with turbo, Holden still only supercharged.

Will take the Vauxhall VXR8 over that Lexus. The only American powered car I like beside SRT Viper and the Challenger Hellcat. To be honest, Vauxhall build better American powered sedans than Cadillac, the Vauxhall is definitely my favorite sedan beside German sedans. What's better than a LSA+ Limited slip diff+ Manual+ RWD? (Although this got an auto). Get over it, Lexus is the looser, too many technologies that aren't gaining speed. Just add a LSD. Is that difficult? Why always have to be a ricer? The TVS won't get the car any faster but seems much slippery than the RCF, maybe more weight transferred? Anyway, can't beat Vauxhall's higher cornering speed and much quicker acceleration. This is how you lose 1 second :P

Pascal...I agree with your comment but this car was not built in the UK by Vauxhall. It was built in the Holden factory in South Australia because it is really a Holden Commodore.

The Holden looks great and if you were to buy the luxury model (the "Caprice", not available in the UK) it would look just fantastic.
