But those cars do look nice. HSVs are pretty potent and I imagine there are more and more guys that will recognize that if you can wait for a shipment from Australia, there are a boat load of tuner and aftermarket parts for these cars....................which are hugely poplular down under.
Amazingly, there isn't as many aftermarket parts as you would think. Plus the US dollar is in the toilet against the AUS dollar making a lot of the good parts way too expensive. The new Camaro already has way more aftermarket parts than the Holden and G8 combined.
