Sounds like GMH are doing a F--d - they dropped the V8 & paid for it in the sales dept.

Looks like the post a couple of threads down relating to a twin turbo VXR Insignia is correct....

Oh well if the brains of GM-H reckon that the V8 is dead then it's is but only in their minds.

V8 sales here are as strong as ever, regardless of what the motoring media in this country sprout - for the past 10 years all they have ever done is slag the local car industry, every chance it got, as the big 3 here wouldn't give them kickbacks like the other manufacturers do.

One thing I'm sure about is, the previous governments, unions, staff, the public, media & the car companies themselves are all equally to blame for upcoming demise of car manufacturing in Australia.

All of them are short sighted, greedy, self opinionated & most of all UN-AUSTRALIAN!!!!!!
