M5 will have a hard time with this car
420bhp 6.0-litre V8 four-door missile
0-60mph in 4.9 seconds
stop quicker than a Lamborghini Murcielago
less hp and still beat M5
dont like the intee much.

Front reminds me of a Mitsubishi Lancer. Rear reminds me of a Pontiac GT.

I'm sure that it will be fun. But don't buy new - its going to depreciate faster than a Vectra 1.8
Vauxhall seem to undermine thier base value with big discounts on used. Just look at the way the previous Monaros have faired.

Looks too ricey, like the current Mazdaspeed 6. They don't have an aggressive dominating stance like the M5 does.

These are actually made in my home town of Adelaide, Australia by GM Australia otherwise know as Holden. This is the developed by HSV (Holden Speecial Vehicles) which is the motorsport division of Holden. You can pick one up a new one for about AUD 78K + on roads or USD63K. The M5 will set you back AUD 235K so here in OZ they are not even in the same price universe.

Who cares about these little cheap cars that are fast.

Do we want to go 0-60 super fast in a car like that or an M5? Come on.
