Re: Holden Celebrates It's 60th Anniversary At The Adelaide Motor Show

Looks like Melbourne got shafted this year too, those six concepts in one place would be totally awesome!

The 60th anniversary offerings are good, but not great. I was kind of hoping to see maybe a 60th ann. Astra, Ute and Statesman, after all there was for the 50th ann.

Is that a unique spoiler on the SS-V? it looks higher than the regular one but doesn't appear to be borred from HSV but its a little bit hard to tell with the supplied pics.

The Captiva scrubs up nicely too, the rims on the Omega aren't bad either, but it would have been nice to see the Berlina fog lams on there too.

Either way this is a pretty good deal for anyone buying at the moment, but I can't help but wonder if there is a little bit more to come. After all it would be great to introduce the sportwagon with a dressed up limited edition.
