    ...and a V8 sedan according to HadACoolName.

    I'm guessing they are trying to make replacements for GM's and Ford's cars.

    As Ninety Nine said, the Genesis sedan is already here ;)

    Hyundai making a ute, actually saddens me even more. Now its the Korean's "Party trick", not Australia's :(

    It seems (Here in the US at least) the genesis sedan now only comes in v6. The 5.0l v8 has moved to the Equus and the Kia K900. (Same platform as the Genesis sedan) Shame really, as that v8 in the genesis really was rare for a luxury sedan around $45k.

    I'm looking at a 2009 or 2010 Genesis v8 sedan myself. This generation was only 4.6l and made 375hp and 333lb-ft of torque vs the 5.0l making 429hp and 376lb-ft torque.

    Hyundai made a V8? What? I don't keep up on my Korean cars like I........never did.



    In other news, I checked out the orange K20, Needed just a bit more than I was wanting to put into a truck.


    Also, Paging HadACoolName, My sister-in-law wants a G8, Would you know anything to look for or steer away from about them?

    From what I can see, owners that are aware of the cars actual history & flaunt around the Holden badge are the ones who keep the cars in the best condition & generally only do modifications that improve the vehicle.
    I'd stay away from any younger owners who have likely thrashed the car.

    Also staying on the topic of Commodores, Holden sold 1,874 2016 VF Commodores in July. For a car that started production in 2013 and in a time when the "Large car segment is dead", it seems to be defying everything GM would suggest.
    But ya know, when have General Motors ever been wrong.

    Was looking around some of Japan's mountain roads on Street View when suddenly... CORVETTE!

    It's on a hairpin south of Lake Okutama if you'd like to find it yourself.

    In my area, we get a lot of Ricers. Not with your standard Japanese cars. No, these ones use mainly either old Vauxhall Vecrtas or Renault Clios, fitted with pointless body kits, a spoiler, and a fart can (and normally driven by idiots). Also, these vehicles take up roughly a quarter of the total cars in the area.

    One thing my dad has learned about euro tail lights is that they are thieve magnets. there was this mid nineties accord that has them on so far it has had its rear wheels removed and it has had its rear subs and head unit stolen out of it. Those tail lights are evil


    Oh and the car is currently in a shed next to an airstrip on my uncles farm.

    The term "boy racer" wears a bit thin when the person doing it is 40 years old, and wondering where their life went. Saying that, it is the area where this statue always has a cone on it.

    And has had it since at least the 70s

    Here we have them too but they usually have vw golfs bmw 3 series and audi a4-a8 and they all have the smallest engines you can get. Also they dont really have bodykits but theyre stanced (watched literally just the other day when a audi a8 got stuck on a speed bump) also they always want do top speed races on the autobahn (Usually it would be than 105hp golf against 492hp challenger or golf against m4.

    "Euro" tail lights look awful.

    Not necessarily, but they have to be done right and on the right car.

    This is the ONLY way to tow a caravan! (On the same flatbed as a Land Rover Defender)
