You know, normally I'm highly opinionated and overly confident in what i have to say, but on this one I'm at 6's and 7's. Its great that Holden have done a tribute to the Sandman and on the flip side, my mid 40's brain cant quite process the wagon because its stuck in the 70's and 80's somewhat, but I think I know what's bothering me now. There's nothing distinctly 'fun' about these new cars, to mark them as different from the usual hotted up offerings. For me the Sandman was an escape from the burbs kind of car and promised 'fun' for all ages. The 2015 Sandman's look more appropriate as middle income bling, or suitable on the racetrack with the emphasis on performance.
So what does 2015 car fun mean for me? How about some of these-
- Custom sun roof (extended version on the wagon like the first HQ had)
- Custom embedded Engel fridge or at least refrigerated drink holders
- Unique A/V system with 4g wifi hotspot including Android Auto and Apple Car Play
- Sandman lighting around and inside the car (image projection)
- A couple of fun and wacky colour choices in both paint and interior
- A tailgate tent for the wagon
- Custom weatherproof clip in lounge for the ute ( to sit in at the beach)
- Optional add on BBQ for the ute tailgate
- Custom bed for the wagon
- Unique void area storage compartments in both ute and wagon
- Custom clip on privacy screens for the wagon
And my personal favourite, a secret spirit bar trimmed with studded purple crushed velvet!!
Thoughts?
