Perhaps it's a melange... the Clubsport R8 has aggressive aero bits, and it's a 6.2 not the G8's 6.0 (like the Commodore SS-V). SS-V even has the same vents (HSV's are vertical, and brakes on the HSV are more Brembo-esque)

Bottom line: Holden is building some nice, RWD, 4-door sedans.
Sorry you're probably right, just went on name and look...

Do Ford USA have an equivalent of the Ford Falcon (Holden's competition in Australia/NZ)? I reckon car's like the F6 (turbocharged 4.0L) and FPV Typhoon (hyped turbo 4.0L V6) would be popular...
