Comments, suggestions, anything is welcome!

Nice! Love the color!

Those wagons are sexy!

Thanks guys, I always love to hear positive comments about her! Now, question; would it look good with the G8 Front end on it? I've been considering it for a while and badging it up as the G8 as well. What do you think?

I think it'll look sweet! Do they sell the wagons with the 6.2L engine as an option?

I like that front fascia and the way the light catches the different surfaces out on the corners.

gawd i wish they would have brought the wagon over here.
that thing is georgous.

Looks great KarTaz, I don't think I'd change a thing. Can always upgrade the audio system or something if you get bored. :D

No, though there is an HSV version of the wagon with the LS3 motor.

Actually, I find the factory system more than adequate for the music I play. Probably the only thing I'd add is a sub; seems to be missing that good, low down thump a sub would give. I wouldn't mind taking it down the quarter either, cause I know for a six that she can fly!

Very Sexy SWAGGON!

This is the "Ute" version, called the HSV Maloo...

but I can't find any videos of the HSV wagon, anyone have any references?

Beautiful car, beautiful color, OP! I like how they have our equivilant of the GXP Diffuser on the back, and I love you have that class (2? 3?) hitch integrated there.... do you have any "toys" to pull with that hitch?

The HSV wagon is called the "Clubsport Tourer"

nice MY12 chrome surrounds! mind asking how much they were? my brother was thinking about getting a set

Poison Ivy is one awesome color!

GXP Diffuser was a bitch to get on with the tow bar hitch; took us about two hours to get it sitting almost-proper and even then we had to sink two self-tappers in to hold it to the bar. The tow hole we had to cut all the way through the top of the diffuser. Toys for the towbar? Unfortunately no, I need it for when I need to cart some stuff around I can go hire a trailer and use my own car. Also I tow our club trailer every now and then. Looking at getting a small boat sometime soon though.

Would love to switch front ends with you !!!!!!!!:wink2:

the Parko Ad i just want one...

i love that color cant believe GM didnt send that over on the G8

I really like the vibrant green . I wish gm offered that over here..

That’s hot. Unfortunately for us in the states the next step up (wagon) is the CTS-V which right now is the only car I would trade my GT in for (except a GXP)

Love that color! If it had been available, it would be on my G8 GT! Is the flag and Holden emblem on the rear stock, or available from an after market source? Be cool to have one on the back of my G8!:wink2:

Nathan,

Didn't know you were on the G8board mate. Welcome!

Beautiful color and I love the wagon body.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. Getting some chrome number plate frames for her this week, complement the subtle chrome highlights she already has!
