sounds like for the sportwagon its just the evoke and Calais that are auto only. ad 2k for the ss and ssv models for a manual sportwagon.

Looks like they haven't fixed the drink holder issue..

As far as I know the drink holders are now bigger.

There is no transmission option for wagon they all get auto. Read the gm media link I posted earlier.

Deeper? Large drinks get in the way of the shifter.

Not exactly sure I just remembered reading somewhere that they are now larger for the bigger cups.

[Troutman]

Bigger cups are a good thing.

The ssv redline is a lot of car for the money. With launch control, brembos, staggered wheel size, forged 19's, Bose etc etc the gen f HSV cars better have a bag full of tricks. Especially since the HSV price will probably stay unchanged.

Agreed, makes me wonder if there will still be a base Clubsport, of course HSV will still have 6.2 and HSV brakes and distinctive body work etc.

Did anyone notice in Drive article the options list prices $500 for spoiler on SV6, SS, SSV and Redline

Edit, spoiler also lists as standard equipment, so must be two different spoilers, I was thinking they had made the spoiler optional with VF.

The lip spoiler is standard but it seems the big spoiler is there as an option for people who have no taste.

[Ghosn]

You don't even need a lip spoiler on these cars, they already have a lip unlike the VE.

I see what you did there!

[Wonky]

Bigger cups are a good thing.

Only if they're properly filled.

I've obviously got no taste cos i like the rear spoiler, if i pay for an SS, SS-V or HSV etc. I don't want it looking like a bloody Taxi.

bad move Holden....if that is correct

I know of 3 people who were going to buy manual SS or SSv wagons to replace their current VE wagon
who are now going to look at other alternatives...4WDs or large utes



it also will be interesting to see what HSV do with their model range... auto only wagons from them too ???

[Hos]

I agree with the above, if Holden don't offer a manual V8 wagon in the VF, 50% of my inspiration to upgrade just died. I would seriously consider trading the VE SSV wagon purely to step up and get a manual, then I wouldn't have the issues with Drone and any aftermarket exhaust I've tried yet......

As for other listed features, good job Holden and the Redline will be great value. Look forward to the release.

I'd wait and see from Holden what the actual real situation is before jumping ship!

The media release from GM made it pretty clear mate, Auto only for the wagons for some stupid reason.
