Looks good...I've heard it could have 200KW+.
Also, I suppose, it would have to be confirmed that production is a goer, & that Opels are going to be sold in Aus.
Cheers, Pickles.

I emailed the pics over to Phil Harding to see what sort of interest HSV would have in it, he liked and asked about the expected prices but afraid it will be a no go for importing and sporting a HSV badge due primarily being unable to make the price competitive enough with the competition already in Aus, so I hope Opel does make a launch in Aus for you guys as this will be another fine example of a hot hatch GME build........We will be ordering once books open next summer to replace our current shopping trolley........

Yep, without Holden bringing in the new Astra J, there is no chance HSV will bring the next VXR in due to ADR's and the buying price. Fingers are still crossed for Opel to come into our market though!

I read in Wheels magazine that a 1.6 litre turbo will be used when we get the Cruze here next year and also have read that
Walkinshaw Performance will be targeting the Cruze as part of their product range.
Does that mean HSV will be doing a version of the Cruze here ?
Personally I will be waiting to see what happens with Opel`s planned push down under.
I do really like the GTC and can`t wait to see the hardcore version !
