Not so fast. The Chevy Caprice by Holden isn't exactly a Chevy priced vehicle. At today's exchange rate:
The Holden Caprice's price is $53,359.86. Yes, that's US dollars.
($73,690.00 in Australian money).
The Holden Statesman V6 or a supercharged Calais V6 is about $36,900
(about $51,000 Australian)
The LS1 powered Commodore SV8 is a more Chevy-like $30,408.
($41,000 in Aussie dollars)
The base Commodore costs about $23,000.
($37,900 Australian)
If you want an El Camino, you're in luck if GM brings it over. It starts at $26,000AUD (that's just $18,800 of our US dollars). The SS version is $29,000. You can also get the LS1 & stick in a cheaper model.
The Storm (http://www.users.on.net/~nweber/comm...ute.html#storm) is just $23,000 of our dollars.
Finally, for those of you who still have issues about the GTO's $32,000 "no-option but 6 speed manual" price, the Holden Monaro currently costs in Australian money right at $60,000. That's $43,460 in US cash!.
Stop complaining.

If GuionM has taken the AUD$ figure and divided it by 11 then deducted the GST component to get the net figure....well it would be ex GST.
