    i know hey... they "HSV" should have had a good look and said ok if we cant get a HSV badge for the car's airbag and we cant use the vauxhall dash clusters because of the MPH then why dont we call it the HSV OPC and source everything from germany

    friggin useless i reckon...

    anyway im happy cos i didnt have to cut the airbag badge out this time

    well the Astra VXR or OPC are STILL selling like hot cakes over in the UK and Germany

    so its a good marketing ploy for over there

    some guys in the UK are still putting orders in for the VXR and have to wait 6 - 8 more months from now for a VXR

    so bringing 835 of a special edition into the market would sell alot more

    i agree with you that its bullshit that you paint a car white, put a badge on it and different rims and sell it for more than a standard VXR

    But hey if it was your company and you could do it, you bloody well would because people will buy them

    get this, the VXR are selling that good that GM UK have put the price of the car UP

    That was my only point, I never said anything about the normal VXR or how well they sell.

    If anyone else in Melbourne happens to see one in a dealership let us know. I'd be keen on just having a look before it sells.

    'Apparently' Melb. or Vic. HSV dealers have received a total of 6 of the 20 allocated to Aust. so you should find one here somewhere to go look at compared to other states...if not just go for a drive and pop into HSV Braybrook Click here to enlarge

    Also again 'apparently' Queensland has received none, because the VXR sales there are virtually non-existant ?? so all peeps from the sunshine state who want to see or buy one....well better organise to go interstate...

    Above info comes from the same source as the rest of it I've put up Click here to enlarge
