[Delft Maloo]

im hoping to be in a white one shortly;)
and certainly very nice jobs there nick. If that red or some thing simular to dads calais v in passion red became availible id be keen on that but holden only have the solid red(red hot i think) on there website for the ss.
I really do like the karma aswell but im a little over blue coloured cars atm.

[35R]

probably my idea of the perfect family car Nick, i am tempted too

[DaveHAT]

I like !!!!

A white one with the track stripes would be interesting.

Not liking the HSV tourer ... the front looks too much like a D9 bulldozer.

PS Holden Man got skills ... :yep:

I don't even have a family and I love the Sportswagon. It has a really nice shape to it I think. If I had a family it would be a perfect choice. Although the Calais V version with the V8 would be very tempting and probably my pick but no manual :(

The HSV version doesnt work aswell for me though. That might change when I see more pictures of it. Either way I can say the SS V or the Calais V version dropped on rims would be my pick for the ultimate "tourer".

[DaveHAT]

I'd be interested to see what the Tourer wagon looked like with the Senator front on it.

:woohoo:

Good call, I think that would look very nice!

[Duffman]

Good call, I think that would look very nice!

Agreed. Luxo wagon instead of sports wagon would have been a good idea.

Holden Man's chops look the goods too.

[CVY57L]

Gee's they look the part and will make a great family car. Any pricing yet?

[Delft Maloo]

yeah about 1500-2000 dearer then the sedan models. Ve ss sportswagon under$47k in manual.

[fatas]

good bye barge hello HSV wagon :dance:

now lets see my wife fill the back of that with baby and kids stuff :soap:

now she can carry all 3 prams at once :doh:

[Black VESSV]

DO IT!!

I'm tempted even though i have no real use for a wagon but i like them.:cool:

[NickS]

:drool: ... I think white is the winner.

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll24/choppedit/NickSWagonSSVwhite-1.jpg

Manual
DVD Player
Tow Bar
Nice Dark Windows
Matts
Lowered
GTS Rims + Brakes
JK's Pod Guages (that I never got around to fitting to the sedan ... lucky)

... and maybe an OTR and a tune. That's it !!! (...yeah right)

:bravo:

[Delft Maloo]

hey i said white is my colour:soap: .:cheers:

[MID02K]

White is always the go people.....
More candidates for Team Beige!!!

And yeah i think the wagon could be a nice replacement Family Truckster but i really want a coupe.... Torn between 2 worlds...

[NickS]

hey i said white is my colour:soap: .:cheers:

:hide: ... what can I say, great minds think alike.

Anyway Tim, we live about 500kms apart, I'm sure it will be ok.

:D

[fatas]

well i will go black lowered a bit, chrome 20''s and dark tint :thumbs:

not very much different to our barge but thats just me :nana:

I JUST WANT 1 :drool:

[Delft Maloo]

mine will be white lowered with Verde caos chrome lip with black centered rims, xforce 1 3/4 pipes and cats and a dual 3'' xforce cat back and a russo otr aswell.

Nice choice Timmy ... as an idea here's the GTS rims in black (or dark grey ...)

Do you think the dual 3" is necessary ? Most people seem to thing it's pointless if you aren't running FI or a stroker ?

[Delft Maloo]

As much as im not a fan of martins gentt kits, id seriuosly consider it for the compliance issues and its something that could quite possibly happen.

Only problem is that the compliance relies on the factory exhaust ... doesn't it ?

:confused:

What you say makes perfect sense though, if I was considering FI I'd put the 3" on for sure. As it is I may not even do the exhaust ... not sure yet.

Have you ordered yet ? Do you have an estimated date for delivery ?

[Delft Maloo]

Have you ordered yet ? Do you have an estimated date for delivery ?

havent ordered it yet and the idiots out here know stuff all about aswell. Mine will all depend on a buisness deal about to go down atm, if it goes through then yes but if it all falls apart then ill just have to make do with the maloo cause im not alowed to play with the wifes ss much.

Right now there is a red SV6 wagon sitting in the car park on the corner of Lane Cove Rd and Talavera Rd in Macquarie Park (The Holden Building)

[DaveHAT]

White for the 10 points thanks Monty !!

:bow: :bravo:

With the grey rims looks sensation Nick ... I like.

My lovely goon looks sooooo dated compared to those pics but it'll do.

Welcome to the land of REAL performance cars everyone ... WAGONS !!! :yahoo: :woot:

:lol:

[Scotty]

I like both the SSV and the HSV versions....

Definate possiblity to replace the Avalanche in the future... but not yet..

I was hoping to get a car for me next...

Holden brought a red ve sv6 wagon up to my work early last month. If its the same one, its a pre production mule that from the outside looks like an sv6 but some of the parts inside weren't the final launch specification. They didn't let us drive it, but it looked great considering it wasn't a final production ready car. Unfortunately it had the rear seats laying down with a cargo barrier above them though so we couldn't really hop in the back.

Design wise they are a massive improvement over the old model and will look amazing with some different wheels etc.

Oh yeah, one of these please :)

Hope to see you in a wagon Nick!

Its probably the same car then, the one I looked at had the cargo barrier in it.

Now the topic we all want to discuss about hipo Commodores, the CARGO BARRIER was a departure from Holden's current design, with no centre perspex flap. Also of note was it wasn't full width. I guess we will have to wait until release to see the full design of this much anticipated accessory.:lol:

:confused:genuflect to the smilie

[NickS]

Hope to see you in a wagon Nick!

The order is in Drew ... hopefully within the next 2-3 months the SSV sedan will make way for an SSV wagon.

:thumbs:

[BLK 1T]

Is mum knitting you a nice cardy to go with it?

But nick, I wanted a silver or red one for Nicole.... :up2sum:

[NickS]

:yep: ... and some slippers.

I'm going to sit in the car on the driveway shaking my fist and yelling "hey you kids ... stay off my lawn"

[seldo]

It's quite interesting watching you guys over the last few years slowly morphing from young tearaways into middle-aged family men with kids....and waggons...;)
Next thing I can see will be the change into Cruisers and Territorys etc...;) hehehe...

[BLK 1T]

Then stage 3 of life - more mature tearaways
Something about old and wise rather than young and stupid..........
damn alzheimers, cant remember

NEVER! I love my V8 sedans and wagons! We will never get a "Turramurra Tank".

Turramurra had a yummy mummy called Buffy
Who loved her fast cars and drove a real tuffie.
She liked to drive quick, like her husband young Nick
whose collection of toys, was the envy of all boys -
his 'Naro the best, much quicker than the rest
'cause its secret is much huffy and puffy ;)

[MID02K]

in reading this, and my own opinion, its almost as if a 'goon is more socially acceptable now..

In discussion with my wife on this subject, she said she would prefer the 'goon over a new sedan, which in my eyes is a :thumbs:
I dont think age has anything to do with it, i think people just like the idea of a larger vehicle... throw all ya stuff in and go....

Now to just twist her arm a little more and get her to say yes to it!

[FatBoy]

I might take the SS-V off your hands Nick...*




* Providing the GTS rims & brakes stay on it... :toetap:

[Dan_]

NICK NOOOOO is it to late to change the colour from anything but white!!! Red looks good! Nice flakey metallic red

Brakes ... not a chance. I do have a spare set of GTS rims though.

:yep:

Dan ... yes, it's too late. White it is, I love it. I already have some wheels in getting painted a nice dark metallic graphite colour. Can't wait ...

:eyes:

[VooDoo]

Spoken like a true detailer (at leat you will still have to keep it looking good not me haha)

I do like the wagons. I picked up an adventura this week for work duties with the GTO is in the shop for a while

[Dan_]

lol oh well white can still look bling. It will look good with the rims you have described and a nice dark tint. Congrats

[FatBoy]

Brakes ... not a chance. I do have a spare set of GTS rims though.
:yep:


It was worth a try mate... :lol:

I've got to sell my old girl first, no luck there so far though... :nopity:

Cheers,
Paul...

[NickS]

A little birdie tells me that my wagon goes into production today ...

:D

Not long now.

[WOMBIE]

Good stuff mate :D

[Kyle]

I saw an sv6 sportwagon this afternoon and i was mighty impressed.. needed gts 19s and lowering though :D

Nick you change cars more often than most of us change oil!!!.:cheers:

[NickS]

It's easier ... this way I don't need to change the oil.

:D

... gts 19s and lowering though :D

GTS 19's ?

:confused:

20's Kyle ... have a set ready to go. Need to line up the suspension though, was going to give Con @ Pedders a ring today but I ran out of time.

Next week ... :woot:

[Kyle]

So.... when are we meeting up for photos..??? New camera needs a workout!

[Muncha]

I think this thing will look really good, i have seen the odd wagon at a few dealerships lately and a white SSV is obviously the best choice. :cool:

[lautray]

Like the sedans, the povo packs look ordinary in the metal, but higher spec ones look the goods.

[Black VESSV]

Off to test drive the Voodoo SSV at holden up the road and check out the change over price. If i order 1 this weekend i might get it in a few months apparently.

Will be good to see the white one with the gts wheels and brakes.
