only difference to the HSV Clubsport R8 will be the GTS seats fitted as standard and the GTS 20's will be an option

The Monaro VXR never had a V Grille nor did the CV-8 Vauxhall Monaro's.

Yea M5 and E65 are in another league but throw in the 300cSRT8 and the S-TypeR replacement due soon, and I think it will be a good match up,with a bit of luck they will take them to the beach:)

Are they not going to have the MRC on the UK models? I thought they may have exported the GTS spec car!

Sounds like a good choice of upgrade car for you folks in the U.K. :) especially if your seeking a larger family car.

Price seems to be on par with our local price as well - usually x2 and a bit from whatever the U.K. pound sterling value is.

I'm hanging for a 2 door variant - I still believe we'll eventually have one :pray:

Regarding V grilles, I could've sworn I 've seen pics of U.K. Monaro's with them, can't remember exactly where or when though :confused:

I tell ya, £36k GBP for a lunatic VXR is small chips - its capable of EEEK MPH and is a 4 door - as you say, a good (and cheaper) alternative to the likes of 'Zee Germans' - The new one looks VERY mean and can back up its mean looks with mean performance !

As for the V grill, there is a VXR 500 (Current shape) with the V grill but some marketing shots dont.......

I think I may sell my wife, cat and two kids for one though :D

I knew I'd seen a U.K. 'Munro' with Vgrille somewhere, I was responding to a posting above which states they never had one :)

I tell ya what Greggy, if GMH release a 2 door VE and I've gotta sell my missus, kids and cat to get one, then so be it !!!!!! :D I have all three of those things and hopefully they'll fetch a good price LOL :D hahahaha

Now just to make sure they don't see this thread :o
