Yellow is available for the first time on this model. Apparently it's a tricky colour to apply, so Holden fits a plastic liner in the tray to hide any blemishes on the ute floor and charges $315 for "metallic" paint, which covers the cost of the liner.

Is there any truth to that??

Yep, the yellow over-spray shows up and looks aweful .. so all Devil Yellow yoots get a tray liner.

HAHAHAHAHA This bit is brilliant:

Holden says: "The Holden SS ute fires up more than just your imagination. Those meaty 17-inch alloy wheels aren't just for show, either. Together with sports suspension, they back up the performance package for outstanding acceleration, braking and controlled cornering."

What it means: Forget fuel economy, that's for sissies and tree-huggers. We've put a really big V8 in this thing and finally given it brakes to match. You know those 17-inch wheels will be off the car in five minutes, traded-in at your local tyre shop for a set of bling 19-inch wheels.

So true about the 17s

and Holden has fitted a stronger clutch.

Is this the case on the whole V8 range?
