why does GM suck SO bad in the U.S. i mean look at the nice interior, stylish guages, nice looking radio and smooth lines of the Holden GTS... and then look at all the "parts bin" crap that all the USDM GM cars get. Arghhh...SO frustrating. I mean seriously....the Corvette is suppoed to be the best "sports car" that GM offers, but the GTS Interior KILLS the Corvette's...arghh...just gettign mad.

goodbye

Holden > USDM GM anything.

I would give my left kidney for one of these. SV300. M5 killer. About $60,000 US dollars.

they sound dead sexy. just go to the site it says at the bottom of that article and in the lower left side of the screen you will see something that says "hear it go" or something like that. click it and it sends you to a sound file of one. sound pretty mean stock if ya ask me.

This is a good question. How come we never get all of the nice cars?
