First it was the Monaro coupe, then the One Tonner flat tray ute - and now it's comeback time for another great Holden body shape: the panel van.

Huh? But you forgot to post the article

btw, Holden just launched the VY(not sure if it's series two or one) Berlina 3.8 V6 as the Chevrolet Lumina in Malaysia.

Cool, actually they also send the chevy Lumina to the middle east and have been, since the VX.

 

[TOYOTA FR3AK]

But the problem is, it's the price which is abt MYR 205k(somewhere around AU$ 100-105k).

 

[The Porko]

$100,000 WAT THE HELLL, man your better of importing a HSV and get style, suspenion work, better brakes and a 5.7L V8 at 280kw.

 

[TOYOTA FR3AK]

When I counted the roadtax for the HSVs, I fainted.

5.7 V8= MYR 24,5145(AU$ 94,157.90)

My parents might as well keep the RAV4 & Estima L 2.4G.

 

[TOYOTA FR3AK]

But if i stay in the duty-free zones(Langkawi & Labuan), I don't have to pay the road-tax.
WOOHOO!

*Revives thread*

 

[Jpec07]

revival complete. Hey people who like Holdens, I recently modeled this car off a VW Golf in the weekly chops and was wondering what you all thought of it. It's called the Commodore SSX Sport Wagon. Whadaya think?

 

[TOYOTA FR3AK]

Nice. But it needs Holden badges on the wheels & Commodore door handles.

 

[Jpec07]

1. The Holden badge is Ugly. No offense; the cars are beautiful, but the badge is downright hideous.
2. I got lazy; and if I had put the commodore handles on it then I would have been accused of performing a "full conversion," which is a big no-no among digital artists...
