    Oh well
    Yeah, I thought about this before posting & the only logical point that popped into my mind at the time is that Holden no longer has the engineering base for the Vectra to work from, especially in facelift guise. The Astra VXR is here, in part, because the base Astra's are here therefor, the engineering base is in place. Same could be said for the Vectra as we have had the C model but we haven't/don't have the facelift C which does have some significant changes to pre facelift. There may have been enough significant changes for Holden to think, st*ff this? However, HSV is a different beast so who knows. The new boss may just have the kahuna's to want to bring the VXR Vectra in.

    Maybe if we all keep our fingers crossed for longer enough we may see the D model..........................Click here to enlarge

    That is a nice machine ! Click here to enlarge

    It is a shame when you like a certain model and they won't bring it in Click here to enlarge

    I felt that way when Holden never brought in the Astra G Coupe, to this day, I still don't see why not ???

    There's no doubt this variant of the G would've sold well, anyone who likes the Astra G hatch and/or Calibra would've definitely considered one of these me thinks Click here to enlarge

    Sorry to disappoint, but there ain't no chance of it coming.
    On a sidenote though, those eyebrows are ugly as hell.

    I'll tell you one thing, expect the new Vectra V8 AWD to be 'highly-considered' as an import to AU.

    Maybe a suitable car for HSV however in these days of petrol crisis etc etc I would have thought a more potent V6 was a more attractive idea.

    I still agree with most that we won't see the facelifted 'C' I just think it's disappointing

    P.S. I could live either way with the eyelids but that rear diffuser - I just want one.
