I may have found the car to replace the CV8 Monaro in the next few years

[HK1837]

I wanted a decently priced RWD or AWD car that has decent performance that doesn't look like a gay Autobot (WRX and Ralliart Lancer to name a few). The CV8 fitted the bill originally and happened to be a Monaro - even better. I have looked at SSV and V8 Calais V but they are WAY overpriced for what they are. I think this car will do the job, and being a lightweight 2 door with 147kW boxer engine it should go OK, and it looks like it handles good too. It is for my Mrs to drive everyday. I'd buy a top spec 6spd auto, so it'll probably by around $40k, at that price I can keep the CV8 parked in the back shed! And this way I don't have to have a sh!tbox V6 which many semi-performance cars seem to have nowadays - still planning on sticking a GenIII into my SR5 to get rid of the V6. I'd still rather it than the awful 3.0L diesel, but it is still not powerful enough for a 4x4 SR5!
