Like the front Recaro's but I like the full leather on all seats in the SRi better than the part leather, part cloth.

only real difference is the seats

I agree with you . These "Plasticky " Interior comment about the VXR are rubbish. if thats the case the SRi T must be the same. The share common Interior parts. IE Main Dash Compoents and surrounds.

Sat Nav Isnt Standard in The UK . Its an Option but i dont believe sat nav will be an option in Australia.

Now as for this rubbish about a Cheap Plastic interior im going to put it all to rest. The cars are not Cheap looking on the inside. The interior is actually rather trendy and stylish. The colour of the seats are darker then the photos show. The one displayed by HSV was a Pre-Production model. Lots of things changed on the Production model. Now im going to say this to you all. Reserve all comment until you see an actual production model. i remember saying a few months ago that the SRi T was rather soft looking in the sense of the body kit wasnt aggressive at all. Holden now are all using a 2007 Spec Kit for the SRi that Europe will go to in the 4th qtr of 2006 .

After seeing the car with this kit i find it alot more Aggressive then the earlier models of the SRi T in Europe.

Those of you that are waiting to see what price the VXR is or are in love with the VXR all i have to say is the wait will be worth it. I spent close to 10 hours with Shane whilst in london. and about 6 of those 10 hours were spent riding round in his VXR. The car HAS No UNDERSTEER like we have seen with Clarkson from Top Gear. keep in mind people that it was a SRi T spec Suspension fitted to the car when that test was concluded.

all and all the HSV VXR is going be a very nice over all package.

In the interior stakes, i think both the XR5 and VXR could take some styling points from the GTI.

I like the dash and sat-nav in the VXR though, it's a more polished look than the XR5. Prefer the Recaro's in the XR5 though...
