Dear auto express great review i agree the lexus may be the overall package as it should be at nearly double the price in australia. Please remember the hsv is not just a car with a lsd and an engine. Stage 2 magnetic ride is pure genius, nearly 400mm 6 piston v8 supercar developed brakes that stop in 33m from 100 similar to 458 ferrari better than e63 amg also, nearly 1g in lateral g is amazing for any car now days even if its not like a lotus in a slalom, torque vectoring is clever, proper cooling too. I just get tired of people saying aussie cars just have an engine, we deserve more praise: )

Interesting comparison but if you are talking a track comparison and bang for your buck the -Vauxhall- (Holden) is the clear winner. These 2 cars are both built with a completely different philosophy however and appeal to two different types of buyers. Cars aren-t always about practicality but how they make you feel and I suspect if you are drawn to either one of these cars for their quite different attributes you would be happy with your purchase.

look at that lexus and its similarities with the Holdens meat and potatoes variety of reasonably priced high performance sports cars. the layout. the performance selector dial. even the interior layout. pretty scabby and maggoty that lexus would look to, and without being inspired by, choose to leech of a concept that has its roots in pedigree in order to profit

Look, to be fair to traditional naturally aspirated V8 Holdens, someone should drop that Lexus V8 in the 1990s Toyota Lexcen (in addition to parts from the HSV parts bin) and call it a day. The fact that 1990s Lexcen weighs only 1340 kg puts it on par with modern day V8 supercars.

Fantastic realistic review. I agree, I bought the Lexus GS F here in the states. I love it, best car I have ever owned, and I have had modern Audis, Mercedes, and a Corvette Grand Sport. The Lexus is truly special, and makes me feel grateful that I own her.

So a comparison between a fancy Toyota and a true Australian muscle car? Let's put it this way. In the UK, no one is going to look twice at a Lexus, whereas everyone is going to look several times at the Holden going past.

the gts Would have been quicker if he left the esp on in track mode, the esp allows slip but still points you on the straight and narrow to put the power down. The Gts also has torque vectoring as standard btw.

The fact that that the Commodore is no longer made while the Lexus still is running off the production line means spare parts for the Commodore won't be necessarily be cheaper than those found on the Lexus.

Cheaper, more powerful and faster than the Lexus, and looks a LOT more fun too - the VXR8 is the clear winner. Plus in the hands of a more capable/aggressive driver, I bet it would lap even faster still.
