Good point, they usually test in Vic or NSW at places like DECA in Shepperton.Quote:

I will be sending an E Mail to HSV to see if infact there is a VXR in Oz and if possible if we can get the car to our dealership or to somewhere where we can arrange a preview and possible drive of it for Opel Aus members interested in purchasing.
No dealer yet has one, i have been told that the cars will arrive in Oz first week of September. It will then depend on whether HSV do any local modifications to the cars before they hit showroom, as to when you see the cars in Showrooms.
I'm still interested in hearing what sort of things OpelAus members would like to be part of the package that i'm putting together for members wishing to purchase a VXR.
Please PM me with suggestion. Please be reasonable with them however, as these vechile will be in very short supply please don't be expecting huge discounts, however we would like to work out a package with MAYBE a small discount and POSSIBLY a few extra's that all interested parties can agree on eg Tint, Mats ect ect.
As soon as i have any more information i will let you all know :D
Just a few suggesstions continuing on from yours...
Tints
Mats
Slimline Number Plates and covers (Not sure if NSW has slimlines)
Metallic paint at no extra cost
these all sound reasonable and do-able
any other suggestions?
Theres a Ford Focus XR5 on the Hume Hwy, at the ford dealership near chullora, (the hot orange colour mind you) my opinion, looks ugly compared to the VXR,
anyone know what the VXR weighs in UK trim?
Ok guys i can give you the score on the VXR now after spending all day in one yesterday. I was lucky enough to arrange a meet with Aussie_in_London yesterday and some of the crew on Astra-sri.co.uk . WOW .. The car is awesome.. Forget the the Clarkson "Understeer" issue. Shane was driving one handed through roundabouts and changing gear and the car did not struggle with grip one bit.
Damian i have to say this... The Golf GTi with DSG is going to be no match for the VXR...
Even in standard trim the VXR has plenty of straight line speed and handles extremely well...
This will not disapoint. I was thinking about the XR5 Focus but i have made my mind up. VXR all the way... If you would like some more info about my ride in the VXR PM and i will be happy to share it with you...
Cheers

Just been on HSV web site.. I have noticed that the specs of the VXR no longer exist on the site. Im guessing that the Offical Specs wont be to far away and a lauch date would be fairly close.
I Cant wait to see on on our roads with HSV Badging.
