things that make you go......


the interior isn't too bad....it could be worse. But I don't know...the Vectras just don't look sporty enough, and for the money get a 3.8l dunnydoor

If you ignore the colour choice in that pic, the interior looks to be basically unchanged. Not sure about the front end styling - the old front end wasn't too good, but I don't think this new one is an improvement, just different.

I'd certainly be enthused about the Z28NET engine... :)

Probably got a better chance in seeing the 3.6T in a commonwhore than seeing that...!!!

Or a better chance of me getting a roast lamb with baked spuds and corn on the cob for dinner tonight...!!!

My wife owns a Vectra C CDX and I drive a 2004 Commodore. In my opion the Vectra is a much better car. It beats the commodore in every category. Its faster, better handling, better built and more comfortable. In fact there is no comparison between the two cars.

That's a totally mad car....would love to get my hands on one. Too bad Holden ain't bringing it over here, but having said that, the Vectras aren't selling well here.

I love the current shape Vectra, I'm considering getting one to replace my cali, but not many have manual boxes. Went for a test drive on Mon in a 2.2L CD, but I'd much rather the 3.2L V6 CDXi....so sleek and sporty :)

To me the current shape vectra seems to have been designed by the same team who does the recentish cadillacs, or they were at least sharing similar ideas.

I like it.

edit: the current one, not the new one coming

Holden's engine Co are supplying a 2.8L turbo V6 to Volvo. Is this the same engine?

you got your swedish car company's mixed up there

Holden are suppying a 2.8 Turbo V6 to SAAB (a GM company) not Volvo (a Ford Company)

Doooohhhhh! You're right.... but don't all Swedes look alike???? :confused:

(one of the 'legend' Holden sales guys retired last year. One of his quotes that got him into a little strife at the time was "Saab..... that's that Swedish company that's got more models than it has customers isn't it???" (quote's from memory so not verbatim, but pretty close)
