Is the Grange that good then?

You can get them in the UK if you know where to look. Personal imports with GM backing apparently. We can also get the Commodore HSV, which is a little more, ahem, focussed.

But when it comes down to it, they're basically Vauxhalls with big engines. Lots of grunt, sound great but not miuch in the way of build quality, style and class.

For that you need a German equivalent - BMW M5 or AMG Merc.

HSV Grange

Just had a quick look on the net, I heard alot about these HSV Grange jobbies.We all know about the Holden, but I must say it dont look bad bit of kit at all. But just cant help thinking I would rarhter have a Mercedes-Benz Brabus EV12 take a look on www.brabus.co.uk 582BHP, 7.3 V12 the fastest saloon car in the world.

Which reminds me of a brilliant snippet in last month's evo magazine...

In the interests of safety, the environment and a nod towards conservatism [that's with a small c], Brabus have agreed to limit the maximum speed of their top of the range CL and S-class 7.3 V12. To 193mph.
