Well...fuck.
In the US we got this shitty Chevy-emblemed thing with front drive and an extremely flexible chassis, 4 speed automatic transmission...basically a competitor for the Taurus. Why the hell can't we get decent cars here? Oh....I forgot...hehehe...most (I said MOST, not ALL mind you) of the American public wouldn't be able to drive a powerful rear-drive car safely.

the car has 5.7L LS1 engine, 325 hp
its is available with 4speed auto transmission and a rear wheel drive
basically its really really fast, this car can beat bmw m3, nissan 350z, porsch carrera...etc
it doesnt have much stability for a sport sedan, but i like when the rear wheels starts to spin around at every corner and the smoke from the tires 8)
and the ride is very comfortable too
they say the car is not reliable but I didnt have any troubles so far

Yeah, thats a really nice car. Looks like it would be a pretty good sleeper, too bad it doesn't come in a manual. Kind of looks like the new GTO in a way.

it ought to look like the GTO/Monaro...the GTO/Monaro is basically a shortened version of that car!

I like the lumina SS/GTO/Commodore you have there. Is it built in Australia?
