    It'll be a huge collector car. Last, biggest, fastest and best.

    Respect
    Spot on in all respects.
    Brilliant engineering by an Aussie company, who have produced an amazing car, with amazing performance & features, much cheaper than similar Euro cars which might be able to stay with it.
    "Respect"?...absolutely, for many reasons.

    Young Aussie males have been jamming big engines in mundane family sedans for generations.
    One young bloke, who could drive a bit, got a Holden motor into an A30. That's "Brilliant engineering" that deserves "Respect".
    Knock a hundred grand of the W1 and you've still got an overpriced taxi.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    The GTS/R was. It was painted yellow.
    The W1 won't be painted taxi yellow, therefore, not a taxi.

    Sorry, but I think its overpriced too. There have been so many 'special' Commodore's of late that they all look similar. The 'Storm' for example.. Fancy wheels, fancy name, and white! It needed to look very different if it was to be a true 'special'. Just my opinion tho.

    If I was buying a super-car I'd want something that looked like a super-car.
    That doesn't.

    Yes it is my opinion - not an enthusiast - well not so sure about that - you don't know me and what toys I have - if it was $100K cheaper at around $100k on the road - yep would be a good buy.

    Graft in a big engine, add a lick of paint and you've got a supercar.

    Still looks like any family saloon. Only the exhaust note would turn heads.
