With the VXR potentially being only 4-5 weeks away i hope to see HSV release some more information on their website.!!

i doubt it mate, but we will see closer to the date.
The wrx has a un-usually higher then normal risk profile due to the number of write-off's and thefts - something that hsv's probably don't have... but i could be wrong (hope not).
Yes, I totally agree that the WRX has really really outdated interior, but its still functional, and with some practical useable space. Been driving the AH Astra for 1.5 yrs now, I can say storage space is pathetic.. and unluckily, the VXR is going to be the same.
Would be nice to see VXR offer some space improvement to the VXR like a bigger and a useable cupholder on the door (to replace the useless one we got for the AH at the moment) and some in dash storage areas.. But I know its going to be very unlikely that we will ever get them, given the VXR in the UK is still troubled by the lack of storage space.
Look wise, the VXR is the killer!
I have a feeling that the VXR is going to have an insurance cost of equal or higher than the REX.... reasons are that the standard wheels are 19inch, its a HSV, a pricier car, higher power to weight ratio... but seriously don't know how insurance company work out their prices.

Yeh you can bet that the VXR will be about equal on the insurance front with the WRX. As Shaun said because it is an HSV that'll jack it up and also because it is a turbo...

Mr D1 Reverse drift spec
not neccessarily..
its more to do with claims than the brand
i.e. my turbo cost ~$200 more to insure than std astra
sammykkwok- purchase price of a car has little to do with the premiums, i know that i can insure a new bmw 3 series for the same price as my astra and a Porsche Boxster is cheaper to insure than a sti/evo
why? lower claims because bmw/porsche drivers are less likely to be careless with their cars and scrap/crash it
As the VXR only comes in 2 door version it'll also cop further hatred from insurance companies...
It'll be interesting to see how much more to insure it is than the XR5T, which by all accounts has been very reasonable.
I agree with you here.
I actually had a reduction when i upgraded from my 2.2lt to my 2.0turbo with racq!!! go figure that one out.!!
are you over 25?
that is very strange

I pay $1300 in Mt Annan Sydney NSW. Im 25 though thats for my current SRi Turbo. Just car were the only ones that would insure it apart from the NRMA who wanted $3,500 to insure it. The also told me i wouldnt beat there price and and no one else would insure mine. Funny that Justcar beat them and insured mine....
