Wish the G8 had the HSV wheels from the Maloo R8.

I don't care for the Maloo but the other two aren't bad at all.

I like the R8s, but just am not crazy about the foglight area. Why did they make it look like a cheap body kit with the black plastic around the lights? Or is that supposed to be carbon fibre?

Hopefully, they'll be on the G8 GXP.

I saw quite a few HSV VE Commodores last year when I went to Oz.

The VE is attention getting enough. Those things are way too over the top... can spot those things from blocks away in heavy traffic. The regular Commodores are eye catching enough (this strangely isn't conveyed accurately in pictures). The HSVs are IMHO too much.

Once the G8 starts poping up on the streets and you start seeing them among other cars in daily traffic, you'll see what I mean. Then just amp it up off the scale and paint it reina-melting red (which most all HSVs seem to be), and you get an idea of the impact these things have in public.

Oh, so when you said "I don't like a one of them," you meant "I don't like any of them.
