The Rare HSV R8 Tourer In A Manual* This Is How You Do A Wagon! 

Yes they did, only 50 built. I have 1/10 of the white.

True.. awesome wagons tho

Always a problem with wagons, however the way the Maloo was implemented with the Ultimate Warrior vibe at the back would look absolutely ghastly on the wagon and I really don't think they could do it different because the Maloo was done like that and that would be the HSV look on everything except the sedan. HSV always appealed to the upper middle class bogan (my numberplate is BOGN so it's not a term of disrespect) and they did this really well at the time but they also did it to a strict budget and retooling a different panel for the Holden wagon (both marquee's lowest selling variant), which would then be sold to HSV was not going to be an option. Unfortunate, but basic economics for us that have the wagon love., which is ever growing thanks to millions of SUVs taking over the roads.

Exactly! I love wagons and wanted one in the worst way, but it was stock looking from behind... I got a Sedan as they had the full HSV treatment.

I appreciate that! Thanks so much 😁

😎👌

Our pleasure!

Glad you enjoyed it.. absolutely one to keep

Glad you enjoyed it! Absolutely not a bad time I feel like for this wagon.. good fun this beast

They absolutely were 🇦🇺👌

Awesome beast

Epic love these wagons

Yes they are! Very rare and very awesome 🇦🇺👌 glad you enjoyed the video

Sadly it’s true.. anything with proper performance now is either killed off or 100k 🥲

​@@RossReviewsau you've reviewed a VW Golf R on your channel. Don't forget their wagon! 2nd hand are a bargain weapon wagon.

Having said that 70k aud in 2010 is now the equivalent of $99,200.42 in 2023 due to inflation lol so it wasn't exactly cheap.

@@craigsampson3386 But it's cheap in comparison to the Euro equivalents so if this thing was new today, it would still be cheaper than the Euro equivalents... It's still not cheap but it's cheaper than the others...

@MartinJones123 ohyeah for sure, Holden / HSV offered great value for your money 👍

Good choice!

Thanks 👍

Very rare

They did!!!

They stupidly destroyed their own wagon market and hated on them. When they got this Commodore as Chevy SS(only as sedan) these fools didnt buy them when it was superior Chargers and alike. Its partly on GM too, that they never bothered to intorduce them sooner. They feared it would expose how awful their US offerings were. Perfect storm of everything stupid to ruin chances of commodore catching and also reason why they ruined Holden. If they made Holden expand to europe and usa 20 years ago then they wouldnt have to be shutdown. GM was just stupid.

Love the CTSV

Epic wagon

nice one!

Ikr the LSA wagon is definitely on my list to see one day

Very cool eh

Yes I’m part Māori! My family has land in Rotorua! I’m first generation born in Canada 🇨🇦

Tuff eh

beautiful wagon

Series 1 VE HSV definitely looks better than the series 2 aka the E3

That’s still a great car

HSV 😎

Very nice

Lovely wagon this

I think there was an LSA manual one but extremely rare

The LSA was not available with manual in tourer spec.@@RossReviewsau

I would love to see that

Big foot

They absolutely should have

You could but expensive

Like serious not a e3 but just a hsv wagon I’ve been looking for so long

I would absolutely love that eh.. the newer stuff out of America 🇺🇸 was insane

We're not allowed in. Mandates.

Did they sell the wagons? I know you had the VXR eh

Rare car!

@@RossReviewsau If you'd like to review it be my guest. Reach out

I honestly believe that.. (6L80E) is good but this is on another level.

1916kg according to a Google search on this model wagon.

Correct 👍

That Man Him Self👀🥵
